Could your own tooth help regrow jawbone? new trial tests graft and laser combo
NCT ID NCT07615361
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a graft made from a person's own extracted tooth, with or without low-level laser therapy, helps regrow jawbone after a tooth is pulled. About 21 healthy adults who need at least two back teeth removed and later replaced with implants will take part. The goal is to see if the combination leads to better bone healing and preservation before implant placement.
