Using your own tooth as a graft after wisdom tooth removal
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using your own tooth to make a bone graft works as well as a standard bone substitute for healing gum and bone problems behind your back molar after wisdom tooth removal. It may help you keep your tooth strong and avoid future issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 26 years old or older.
- You need to have both lower wisdom teeth removed, and they are lying at an angle or sideways.
- The tooth next to your wisdom tooth has a deep gum pocket (over 4 mm) on the back side.
- You do not smoke.
- You do not have poor oral hygiene, uncontrolled health conditions, or take medications that affect bone healing.
- You have not had gum surgery or a bone graft in that area before.

This study tests whether using your own extracted tooth (processed into a graft) helps preserve the bone in the socket after extraction, so a dental implant can be placed later. It is for people who need a tooth pulled and are healthy enough for implant surgery.
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 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 whether using a patient's own blood products can help bone heal better after removing a wisdom tooth. It may help reduce the gap left behind and protect the nearby molar.
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.
This study tests whether using natural material from your own tooth can help preserve jawbone after a tooth is removed. Keeping bone healthy after extraction may make future tooth replacement easier and more successful.
