Atorvastatin with bone graft for cyst repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a statin medication (atorvastatin, often used for cholesterol) combined with a bone-repair material can help regrow bone after removing a radicular cyst. It's for people aged 18–40 with a cyst between 1.5 and 4 cm who haven't had prior cyst surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have a radicular cyst (a cyst near a tooth's root) that is about 1.5 to 4.0 cm in size (roughly the size of a grape to a small egg).
- The tooth near the cyst has already had root canal treatment and is still in place.
- You haven't had any surgery on the cyst before.
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or a heavy smoker (10+ cigarettes a day).

This study tests whether adding simvastatin (a common cholesterol drug) to a tooth graft helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth extraction. It might improve bone healing for people who need a dental implant later.
This trial tests whether a natural blood concentrate (PRF) helps jawbone heal better after removing a dental cyst. It may improve recovery and reduce the need for additional bone grafting.
This study looks at how well a treatment works for children with a simple bone cyst in an arm or leg. The goal is to prevent problems like fractures while the cyst heals, using a stabilizing implant in the bone.
This study tests whether using your own bone marrow stem cells with a special clot (PRF) and bone graft helps rebuild the upper jaw after removing a large cyst. It compares this to using the clot and graft alone.
This study tests custom-made implants to help treat jaw cysts that are near important structures. It may be an option for people whose cysts are in tricky locations where standard surgery might be risky.
This trial tests an antibiotic “graft” placed into or near infected bone cavities around a knee replacement (TKA) to help new bone grow. You may be considered if you have an infected knee implant area and can safely take part in follow-up visits and treatment.
