Could a gel make dental implants stronger?
NCT ID NCT07523412
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding erythropoietin gel to a bone graft helps preserve bone and gum tissue around dental implants placed right after a tooth is pulled. Twenty-six adults aged 20 to 50 who need a front tooth implant will be randomly assigned to receive either the gel-plus-graft or graft alone. The main goal is to see if the gel leads to better bone width and height around the implant.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- erythropoietin gel mixed with bone graft
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could improve bone and gum healing around dental implants, potentially leading to more stable and longer-lasting implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-phase study with only 26 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The gel is experimental for this use, and risks are not yet fully known.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Both genders aged from 20 to 50 years. 2. Systemically free patients as evidenced by Burket's oral health history questionnaire. 3. Patients need the extraction of non-restorable maxillary tooth in esthetic zone and the possibility of immediate placement of implants on the same site with Intact labial plate and interproximal bone levels (socket type 1). 4. Gap space of more than 2 mm between the implant and buccal bone. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Smokers. 2. Pregnant or lactating females. 3. Acute infection at the implant site 4. Patients under any medication that affects the healing. 5. Vulnerable group of patients (prisoners, handicapped, and decisional impaired individuals).
