Vallomix Socket Preservation Study

NCT06472453 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of two bone grafting materials on preserving jawbone integrity after tooth extraction. Following extraction, the jawbone surrounding the removed tooth can shrink, affecting future implant placement. By placing a bone graft material in the extraction socket, we aim to maintain adequate jawbone space for future implants. This study compares how well the mixture of vallos®f (human source bone) and Bio-Oss (animal source bone) \[test\], and vallos® only \[control\] grafting materials work. Participants with at least one tooth planned for extraction and subsequent implant placement are sought for this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the mixture of vallos®f and Bio-Oss (test) group or the vallos® only (control) group. Throughout the approximately 2-year study duration, participants will undergo oral exams, x-rays, surgical procedures, and follow-up visits. All participants will undergo routine tooth extraction, bone graft material placement, and dental implant placement. After the crown is placed on the implant, participants will attend follow-up visits. Participation in the study is voluntary, and the alternative is to continue routine dental care. Risks include minor discomfort from procedures such as tooth extraction and implant placement. The major benefit of participation in the study is the preservation of jaw dimensions following extraction, which will simplify the placement of a dental implant.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06472453

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06472453 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 24 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Maryland, Baltimore, which has 559 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Alveolar Ridge Augmentation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Allograft/Xenograft is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06472453 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
