Your extracted tooth could save your jawbone for implants
NCT ID NCT07573761
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a patient's own stored tooth can be used as a graft to preserve jawbone after tooth extraction. About 21 adults needing at least two teeth pulled will receive this treatment. The goal is to maintain bone width and height for better future dental implant placement.
