Could your own blood help dental implants heal better?
NCT ID NCT07520526
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new way to place dental implants by combining a technique called socket shield (which saves a piece of the tooth root) with concentrated growth factors made from the patient's own blood. The goal is to see if this helps preserve bone and improve implant stability. Seven adults needing a front tooth implant will be followed for 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- concentrated growth factors (CGF) from the patient's own blood
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve bone healing and implant stability, reducing bone loss around dental implants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 7 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is complex and may not work as expected.
