Man-Made bone graft could replace donor tissue in dental implants
NCT ID NCT07020650
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a synthetic bone graft material (carbonate apatite) helps preserve the jawbone after tooth extraction better than grafts from human or cow bone. Researchers will measure bone changes using scans and tissue samples. The study involves 45 adults needing a tooth removed who plan to get a dental implant later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- carbonate apatite bone graft
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a synthetic alternative to natural bone grafts for preserving jawbone after tooth extraction, potentially improving outcomes for future dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage study (45 people) comparing different graft materials, so results may not apply to everyone. The synthetic graft may not perform better than existing options.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Age between 20 and 80 years old * Patients requiring tooth extraction (incisors, canines, and premolars) due to caries, periodontal disease, tooth fracture, or unrestorable condition. * Extraction sockets must be infection-free with dehiscence less than 5mm. * Patients interested in implant placement after tooth extraction. Exclusion criteria: * Known allergies or hypersensitivities to medications related to the study (e.g., chlorhexidine) * Hematologic disorders or blood dyscrasias. * Active infectious diseases. * Liver or kidney dysfunction/failure. * Uncontrolled diabetes (i.e., HbA1c \> 8). * Undergoing active cancer treatment, including chemotherapy or radiotherapy within the last 12 months from the procedure. * Use of medications affecting bone healing (e.g., bisphosphonates, long-term anti-inflammatory medications). * Metabolic bone diseases affecting bone healing, such as osteoporosis (self-reported). * Pregnant or lactating women (self-reported). * Current smokers of 10 or more cigarettes per day and former smokers who quit less than 10 years ago (self-reported). * Poor oral hygiene. * Presence of fenestration defects equal to or greater than 5mm.
