Blood clot vs. bone graft: which builds better jawbone for implants?
NCT ID NCT07584629
First seen May 19, 2026
Summary
This study tested two methods for rebuilding jawbone before placing dental implants. In 12 patients, each received a graft made from their own blood (LPRF block) on one side of the jaw and a mix of their own bone with cow bone on the other. The goal was to see which approach better restored bone volume and thickness over 25 months. The study is complete, but results are not yet reported.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (LPRF) block
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simpler, less invasive option for rebuilding jawbone before dental implants, using the patient's own blood instead of donor bone.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (12 people) comparing two surgical techniques, not a new drug. Results may not apply to everyone, and the LPRF block might not be as strong or predictable as the bone mixture.
As listed by the trial registrant
