Bovine bone graft vs. natural healing: which rebuilds jawbone better?
NCT ID NCT06749158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways to help jawbone heal after a cyst is removed. One group received a graft made from cow bone to guide new bone growth, while the other group let the bone heal on its own. The goal was to see which method leads to denser and more bone in the defect. 44 adults with jaw cysts took part, and the results were measured with CT scans and tissue analysis.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of a well-defined pathological cystic lesion involving the maxilla, confirmed clinically and radiographically that require surgical enucleation resulting in an intra-bony defect. 2. Mesiodistal dimension of the defect ranging from 1 cm to 4.0 cm. 3. Patients aged 20 to 50 years, of either sex. 4. Patients medically fit for surgical intervention under local or general anesthesia (ASA I or II) 5. Absence of systemic conditions affecting bone healing (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis) 6. Patients willing to participate in the study and able to provide informed written consent. 7. Availability of adequate postoperative follow-up (minimum of 6 months). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or lactating women. 2. Radiographically, Presence of multi-locular or aggressive lesions suggestive of odontogenic tumors (e.g., ameloblastoma) 3. Patients with compromised immune status (e.g., HIV, long-term corticosteroid therapy) 4. History of allergic reaction to any of the surgical materials used (e.g., titanium, bovine bone graft). 5. Patients participating in another clinical trial or receiving investigational therapy during the study period. 6. Presence of acute infection at the surgical site. 7. cysts with a known high recurrence rate such as Odontogenic keratocysts (OKC).
