Using your own tooth material vs synthetic bone for healing after wisdom tooth removal
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two materials used to help heal the bone and gum around a tooth that may be damaged after wisdom tooth removal. One material comes from your own tooth, and the other is a synthetic bone substitute; the goal is to see which one works better for regrowing support around the second molar.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 26 years old and able to give consent.
- You must be having impacted wisdom teeth (lower, on both sides) removed.
- You must have a deep gum pocket (more than 4 mm) behind the tooth next to the wisdom tooth.
- You cannot be a smoker.
- You need to have good oral hygiene (less than 30% plaque) before the study.
- You must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have uncontrolled health conditions (like diabetes).

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 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).
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 study tests a special bone-filling material that may help the jawbone heal better after wisdom tooth removal. It compares healing on both sides of the mouth in people who need both lower wisdom teeth taken out.
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 looks at how the gum and bone heal behind the second molar after removing a lower wisdom tooth. It may help reduce problems like gum pockets or bone loss in that area.
