Using Your Own Tooth as a Bone Graft After Extraction
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a tooth next to the area where the extraction will happen.
- You must be generally healthy or have a well-managed health condition.
- The tooth to be extracted must be a lower or upper front tooth (incisor), a lower premolar, or a lower first molar.
- Your mouth must be very clean, with less than 15% plaque on your teeth.
- There must be enough space to place a dental implant after healing.

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.
This trial tests whether material made from extracted teeth can help bone regrow in the jaw after tooth removal, so you can get a dental implant. Researchers will compare this new approach to see if it works better for rebuilding bone in areas where teeth need to be replaced.
This study tests whether using your own tooth (after it's removed) as a graft, along with a common diabetes medicine called metformin, can help preserve the jawbone where the tooth was pulled. This may help keep the area strong for a future dental implant.
This trial tests two materials, Biodentin and a xenograft, to see which one better preserves the bone socket after a single-rooted tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a tooth extracted and plan to get a dental implant later.
This study compares different ways to preserve the bone where a tooth is removed, which may help keep the area ready for future implants or other dental work. If you're having a tooth pulled due to gum disease, this trial could help maintain your jawbone and support better healing.
This study tests a bone graft material (OsteoGen®) placed in the tooth socket after extraction to help the bone heal and get ready for a dental implant. It may be right for you if you need a single tooth pulled and plan to get an implant.
