Your tooth, your graft: new study tests natural bone preservation
NCT ID NCT06429540
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tested whether a graft made from a patient's own extracted tooth can preserve the jawbone as well as a standard animal-based bone substitute. 26 adults with non-restorable front teeth received either the tooth graft or the standard material. After 6 months, the researchers measured bone width and height changes using CT scans to see which method worked better.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Partially Demineralized Dentin Block (made from the patient's own tooth)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a cheaper, natural alternative to animal-based bone grafts for preserving jawbone after tooth removal.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 26 participants. The dentin graft is experimental and may not preserve bone as well as standard materials.
