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 compares two types of bone graft materials for rebuilding the jawbone so you can later get dental implants. One is a freeze-dried bone from a donor (allograft), and the other is a small piece of your own bone (autograft).
This study tests two types of bone graft material (from your own body or from a donor) with a special membrane to help heal a severe tooth infection that has damaged the bone and gum. The goal is to see which works better at rebuilding the area and promoting healing.
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 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 compares two types of bone graft material used to help healing after removing impacted lower wisdom teeth. It tests whether a graft made from your own tooth works as well as one from a cow (bovine xenograft).
