Thymoquinone 0.2% Gel to Protect Bone After Tooth Extraction
Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of the Effect of Thymoquinone 0.2% Gel on Bone Density, Bone Width, and Socket Preservation After Tooth Extraction
Run by Kafrelsheikh University · NCT07765745 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A gel with 0.2% thymoquinone is tested to see if it helps keep bone density and width after pulling a back upper tooth in adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–50 requiring extraction of an upper posterior tooth who consent to use of thymoquinone gel and comply with follow-up visits.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with intact sockets after extraction or conditions affecting bone healing may not benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This study tests whether applying a 0.2% thymoquinone gel, with or without gel foam, can preserve the jawbone around an extracted tooth. It looks at changes in bone density, bone width, and socket preservation using clinical and radiographic assessments. The trial targets adults aged 18 to 50 undergoing extraction of upper posterior teeth to see if this gel improves healing and ridge stability.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the gel could help maintain jawbone structure after extraction, potentially simplifying future implant placement.
How similar studies have gone: Preclinical studies have shown osteogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of thymoquinone, but clinical efficacy for alveolar ridge preservation remains to be proven.
