Thermosensitive THBC + CGF for Bone Building After Wisdom Tooth Removal
Official title: A Real-World Study on Temperature-Sensitive Hydroxybutyl Chitosan-Loaded Concentrated Growth Factor for Alveolar Bone Defect Repair
Run by Stomatological Hospital Affiliated with Fujian Medical University · NCT07779421 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This real-world study tests whether a thermosensitive hydroxyethylchitosan with concentrated growth factor can help rebuild bone in the socket after removing a lower wisdom tooth.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–60 with mandibular impacted M3s and adjacent M2s suitable for retention, who can consent and comply with follow-up.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients lacking a measurable bone defect or who receive non-beneficial materials may not see bone regeneration benefits.

What this trial studies
This prospective real-world investigation evaluates the bone-regenerative potential of a thermosensitive hydroxybutyl chitosan–concentrated growth factor (THBC+CGF) in mandibular third molar extractions. Participants with impacted lower third molars and adjacent second molars requiring retention are enrolled and receive one of several repair options, including THBC+CGF, THBC alone, CGF alone, autograft, collagen sponge, or no intervention. Baseline data and intraoperative details are collected, with postoperative clinical exams and imaging to assess bone regeneration. The study aims to clarify the therapeutic efficacy of THBC+CGF in repairing mesial bone defects after M3 extraction in a real-world setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could improve bone preservation and regeneration in extraction sockets, potentially easing future dental procedures.
How similar studies have gone: Preliminary studies in similar materials have shown promise for bone repair, but this combination in a real-world setting is novel.
