Comparing tooth graft vs bone graft for gum disease bone loss
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a tooth that is removed (like a wisdom tooth) to fill deep gum pockets works as well as using a piece of your own bone. It may help rebuild the bone around a damaged tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older and willing to keep all follow-up appointments for 6 months.
- You have a tooth with a deep gum pocket (at least 5mm deep) and bone loss (at least 3mm).
- You need a tooth removed that can be used for the graft, like a wisdom tooth or an unrepairable tooth.
- You are not pregnant, a smoker, or have a health condition that affects healing (like diabetes).
- You are motivated to keep good oral hygiene and come to clinic visits.

This study compares two surgical methods to repair bone loss caused by advanced gum disease. It tests whether adding a small piece of connective tissue (graft) under the gum improves healing and bone fill.
This study tests whether one of two treatments can improve healing of “intra-bony” gum/bone defects around teeth after deep cleaning. It may help some people with periodontal disease who have pockets deep enough to involve the bone but with certain health and dental conditions.
This trial tests a new treatment for deep gum disease using a synthetic bone graft and a special gel to help rebuild bone around your teeth. It is for people with stage III gum disease who have not had gum treatment in the past six months.
This trial tests whether a special bone graft made from donated teeth works as well as a graft made from your own teeth to preserve the bone after wisdom tooth removal. It may help you keep more bone in your jaw for future dental work.
This study tests a new way to preserve the shape of your gum and bone after a tooth is pulled in the front of your mouth. It compares using your own tooth (specially treated) versus a standard bone graft material to see which works better.
This trial tests whether a dentin graft (made from tooth) or a mineralized graft works better for preserving the jawbone after a tooth is removed in the upper back area. Your participation could help doctors find the best way to keep the bone strong and ready for future implants.
