Blood-Derived filler could replace donor bone in dental implants
NCT ID NCT07445776
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two materials for filling the gap around a dental implant placed right after tooth removal: e-PRF (made from the patient's own blood) and allograft (donor bone). Twenty-eight patients with damaged front teeth received one of the two fillers. The main goal was to see how stable the implant became and how much bone was lost around it. The results could help dentists choose a simpler, natural option for implant success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- e-PRF (extended platelet-rich fibrin) and allograft (donor bone material)
- What this could lead to
- If e-PRF works as well as allograft, it could offer a simpler, cheaper option for filling gaps around dental implants using the patient's own blood products.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 28 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. e-PRF is still experimental for this use and may not be as effective as standard allograft.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with badly destructed teeth due to trauma or caries. 2. Patients willing to complete the study follow up intervals. 3. Patients with good oral hygiene. 4. Adequate inter-arch space that can accommodate implant abutment and future restoration. 5. No gender preference in selection of the patients. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with systemic diseases that absolutely contraindicate dental implant placement. 2. Patients with parafunctional habits (bruxism and clenching). 3. Heavy smokers (i.e. More than 20 cigarettes/day)34 and alcoholism. 4. Presence of local infection or lesions at the proposed area for dental implant. 5. Pregnancy. 6. Patient taking drugs that could affect bone healing process as immunosuppressive drugs and bisphosphonates. 7. Patients with bad oral hygiene and untreated periodontal disease 8. Uncooperative patients
