Using Your Own Tooth as a Bone Graft After Extraction
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 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.
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 trial tests a way to preserve the shape and volume of your jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Instead of using artificial materials, the dentist grinds your extracted tooth into a natural bone-graft material and places it back into the socket. The goal is to keep the bone strong and healthy for a future dental implant or bridge.
This study tests an injectable bone graft material placed in the socket after removing a back tooth in the lower jaw. The goal is to preserve the bone and prepare it for a future implant (artificial tooth root).
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.
