Official title: Mix of Demineralized Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft and Deproteinized Bovine Bone Mineral: a Possible Solution for Alveolar Ridge Preservation?
Run by Nova Southeastern University · NCT06275789 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new bone graft material to see if it can better preserve jawbone after tooth extractions compared to a standard option, helping people who need implants in the future.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals requiring the extraction of premolars or molars with plans for future dental implants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled systemic health issues, active periodontal disease, or those who smoke heavily may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new grafting material that combines demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) for alveolar ridge preservation compared to a commonly used mineralized allograft. The research will assess both the dimensional changes and histological outcomes following flapless alveolar ridge preservation in patients requiring tooth extractions for future implant placement. By analyzing these factors, the study seeks to determine if the new combination material can better maintain bone volume and quality. The results will be crucial for planning successful implant-supported prostheses.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved outcomes in dental implant procedures by better preserving jawbone structure after tooth extractions.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that various grafting materials can effectively minimize dimensional changes, but this specific combination approach is relatively novel.
