Comparing two socket preservation methods after tooth extraction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods for preserving bone after a tooth is pulled in the upper front (smile) area. It tests whether a special plug or a membrane does a better job keeping the bone ready for a future implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You take good care of your teeth and gums.
- You're willing to come back for checkups for 4 months.

This trial looks at two different types of bone graft material used when placing a dental implant right after removing a front tooth. It aims to see which one better maintains the thickness of the bone on the lip side of the implant.
This study tests two ways of making a temporary tooth after a single tooth extraction. It compares a removable device (Essix) with a tooth-shaped bridge attached to the neighboring teeth (Ovate Pontic) to see which works better for healing.
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 study tests a new way to preserve the shape of your gum and bone after a tooth is pulled in the front of your mouth. It compares using your own tooth (specially treated) versus a standard bone graft material to see which works better.
This trial tests two different treatments to preserve the bone and gum after a tooth is removed. It compares using a dentin graft with I-PRF (a special blood concentrate) to the same treatment with added vitamin C. The goal is to see which helps the healing better before a dental implant.
This trial tests two ways to preserve the bone and gum after a tooth is pulled. It compares using your own tooth material (dentin) versus a donor’s tooth material to help the socket heal better.
