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 removing an impacted upper wisdom tooth affects gum health. It may help people who need this tooth removed and do not have advanced gum disease.
This study tests whether using your own tooth to make a bone graft works as well as a standard bone substitute for healing gum and bone problems behind your back molar after wisdom tooth removal. It may help you keep your tooth strong and avoid future issues.
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 two methods for managing the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) when transplanting a fully developed wisdom tooth to replace a damaged molar. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and tooth survival.
This study tests if removing a wisdom tooth helps the gum and bone behind the nearby second molar heal better. It may be relevant if you need a lower wisdom tooth taken out.
