Which putty preserves your jawbone best? new trial tests two graft materials
NCT ID NCT05484492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different bone graft putties—one made from donated human bone and one synthetic—to see which better preserves the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Thirty adults who needed a tooth removed and planned to get a dental implant took part. After 4 months, the researchers measured bone width, height, and soft tissue thickness, and checked a small bone sample under a microscope to see how much new bone had formed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bone graft putty (either demineralized/mineralized allograft or synthetic calcium phosphosilicate)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help dentists choose the best graft material to preserve jawbone for future dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The grafts may not show a clear difference in healing or bone quality.
