New bone graft shows promise for saving jawbone after tooth loss
NCT ID NCT07250256
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well a special bone graft material (xenograft) helps preserve the socket left after a tooth is pulled. Sixteen men with a hopeless back tooth had the socket filled with this material. After 4 months, the researchers used 3D scans and tissue samples to check bone healing. The goal was to see if this method keeps the bone strong enough for a future dental implant.
