Comparing tooth graft vs. bone graft for gum disease bone defects
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a graft made from your own extracted tooth works as well as a traditional bone graft, both combined with a special enamel protein, to repair bone loss from gum disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic gum disease with bone damage around at least one tooth.
- You need to have at least one tooth extracted for any reason.
- You have good oral hygiene and are willing to attend follow-up visits for 12 months.
- You are over 18 years old and can give informed consent.
- You do not smoke more than 5 cigarettes a day.
- You do not have certain serious health conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes, heart problems, or osteoporosis).

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.
This trial tests whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
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 two types of gum-graft materials to see which works better for rebuilding bone next to deep pockets caused by gum disease. Both materials are used during a minor surgical procedure to help your gums and bone heal stronger.
This study tests two ways to build up gum tissue where a tooth is missing before placing an implant or bridge. It compares using a small piece of your own gum (connective tissue graft) versus a man-made collagen material to see which gives better volume and shape.
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.
