Olive oil gel could replace bone grafts in dental implants
NCT ID NCT07368114
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether ozonated olive oil gel can help dental implants fuse with the jawbone as well as a standard injectable bone graft. Sixteen adults needing a tooth replacement received an immediate implant after extraction, with either the oil gel or bone graft applied around it. Researchers measured implant stability and bone density over 6 months to compare the two approaches.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ozonated olive oil gel
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simpler, less invasive alternative to bone grafts for dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small Phase 2 trial with only 16 participants, so results may not apply widely. The ozonated olive oil gel may not perform as well as standard bone grafts.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Adults aged between 20 and 60 years. * Adults of both genders. * Patients who are medically healthy and without systemic conditions that could contraindicate implant placement. * Patients requiring extraction of a single unrestorable mandibular premolar indicated for immediate implant placement. * Presence of sufficient apical and peripheral bone to achieve primary implant stability (minimum 3-5 mm of bone beyond the socket apex and overall socket length ≥ 10 mm). Exclusion criteria: * Pregnant and lactating women's * Heavy smoking (\>10 cigarettes/day) * Severe parafunctional habits (e.g., uncontrolled bruxism). * Periapical infections or lesions. * Gingival and periodontal diseases. * Inability or unwillingness to attend scheduled follow-up visits.
