Zinc-Infused bone graft could boost dental implant success
NCT ID NCT07187609
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding zinc to a natural bone graft material helps dental implants heal better. Sixteen adults needing a tooth replacement will receive either a standard bone graft or one with zinc. Researchers will measure bone loss and density around the implant over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- zinc incorporated bovine derived hydroxyapatite xenograft
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a better bone graft material that helps dental implants heal faster and more securely.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 16 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The zinc-enhanced graft might not perform better than the standard graft.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult(male or female) patients between the ages of 21 -50 years who requiring the replacement of one or more non-restorable teeth in the mandible which will be indicated for extraction. * Adequate bone dimensions at the implant site with ridge width of at least 6 mm, the availability of at least 3mm of sound subapical bone, the presence of an intact labial bone plate, and no evidance of periapical infection on cone beam computed tomography or clinically * The peri-implant gaps larger than 1.5 mm will be included. * All patients will be physically healthy with no medical history of any systemic disease. Exclusion Criteria: * Smokers. * Patients with para functional habits such as bruxism and clenching * Poorly controlled systemic diseases which preclude local anesthesia or surgical procedures * Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy and immuno-compromised patients. * Pregnant /lactating women. * Patients that are allergic to zinc * Patients on antibiotic therapy in the pervious 6 months
