Teeth removal study using leftover tissue for research
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at people who need wisdom tooth (third molar) removal and collects the leftover tissue after extraction. The goal is to use these samples to help dental research, while making sure the procedure can be done safely.

This study looks at how people respond to ibuprofen after having one or more impacted wisdom teeth removed. It aims to understand why pain relief varies between individuals.
This study looks at how gum (periodontal) inflammation affects the body’s immune response during wound healing after a tooth is taken out. You might be considered because you need a molar or premolar extraction where the tooth cannot be repaired.
This study tests a special bone-filling material that may help the jawbone heal better after wisdom tooth removal. It compares healing on both sides of the mouth in people who need both lower wisdom teeth taken out.
This study compares two types of bone graft material used to help healing after removing impacted lower wisdom teeth. It tests whether a graft made from your own tooth works as well as one from a cow (bovine xenograft).
This study looks at how the gum and bone heal behind the second molar after removing a lower wisdom tooth. It may help reduce problems like gum pockets or bone loss in that area.
This study tests a new procedure to remove the early-forming wisdom tooth bud in children, which may prevent future wisdom tooth issues. It is for children who have not yet developed wisdom teeth fully.
