NCT ID NCT06342973
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a bone grafting technique using two materials (demineralized bone allograft and xenograft) to rebuild the jaw ridge in 15 adults needing dental implants. The procedure aimed to increase bone width and quality over 6-9 months. Researchers measured bone gain, vital bone percentage, and graft shrinkage using CT scans and bone samples.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could improve bone grafting for dental implants, making them more stable and successful.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgical risks include infection or graft failure.
