Autologous Tooth Graft vs. Bovine Xenograft for Healing After Lower Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Official title: Evaluation of Changes in Probing Depth Following Surgical Extraction of Mandibular Third Molars Using Particulated Autologous Tooth vs. Particulated Bovine Xenograft vs. Blood Clot: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Run by Universidad Complutense de Madrid · NCT07824518 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether using tooth-derived grafts from the extracted tooth or bovine grafts improves healing of periodontal defects after removing impacted lower wisdom teeth, compared to natural blood clot healing.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) needing bilateral surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars with intact second molars and ASA I or II health status.

Probably not a fit

Patients with conditions or medications that affect healing or those not receiving the test grafts may not experience additional benefits.

What this trial studies

This prospective, randomized, split-mouth trial compares three healing approaches after bilateral lower third molar extraction: autologous tooth graft, bovine xenograft, and natural blood clot healing. The main outcome is the reduction of probing depth on the distal surface of the second molar at six months. Secondary outcomes include postoperative healing parameters and safety measures. The study is conducted at the Complutense University of Madrid with adult participants who need bilateral extractions. It examines whether autologous tooth grafts offer a biocompatible alternative to bovine grafts in promoting periodontal regeneration.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience better periodontal healing around the second molars after wisdom tooth removal.

How similar studies have gone: There have been positive findings with bone regeneration materials, but this direct comparison between autologous tooth grafts and bovine xenografts is novel.
