NCT ID NCT07160101
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a material made from eggshells (nano hydroxyapatite) can help regrow bone lost to gum disease. 28 adults with deep gum pockets received either the eggshell material or a standard bone-graft material during gum surgery. The goal was to see which one better restored bone and gum attachment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eggshell-derived nano hydroxyapatite
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a more effective, natural material for repairing bone loss around teeth.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, completed study (28 people) comparing two materials. Results may not apply to everyone, and long-term benefits are unknown.
