Tested treatment for a fresh tooth socket after front tooth extraction
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies how to care for a just-removed tooth’s socket in the front of the mouth, where appearance matters. It may help improve healing and stability by using socket treatments based on the amount of remaining bone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having one front-side tooth removed (from the front teeth up to the premolars)
- You smoke 10 or fewer cigarettes per day
- Your gum health is good, with low bleeding when checked and good daily plaque control
- No painful infection signs at the extraction site (no acute abscess and no concerning x-ray area at the tooth root)
- The socket still has most of its walls left (less than 30% wall loss)
- The bone at the site looks strong enough for the dentist to get good initial stability

This study compares two types of bone-graft materials used to rebuild the bone after a tooth is removed, so that a dental implant can be placed right away. If successful, this could mean fewer surgeries and faster recovery for people who need a single tooth replaced.
This trial tests a gel made of hyaluronic acid and polynucleotides to help preserve the bone and gum after a tooth is pulled. It may help you keep a healthy foundation for a future dental implant.
This trial tests two techniques to preserve the socket (the hole left after a tooth is pulled) when there is a small defect in the front wall of the socket. It aims to see which method better maintains bone and gum for future dental implants.
This trial tests a special light-based device placed in the tooth socket after a tooth is pulled. It aims to help preserve the bone so a dental implant can be placed later.
This trial tests two materials, Biodentin and a xenograft, to see which one better preserves the bone socket after a single-rooted tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a tooth extracted and plan to get a dental implant later.
This trial tests two ways to place a dental implant right after pulling a front tooth that can't be saved. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root (called a socket shield) and places a temporary crown right away. The other method waits a few months before placing the implant.
