Comparing Two Ways to Preserve Bone and Gum After Upper Front Tooth Removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two techniques for preserving the bone and gum after removing an upper front tooth. The goal is to see which method keeps the area looking and working best for a future implant or bridge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 40 years old.
- The tooth that needs to be pulled is one of your upper front teeth (from second premolar to second premolar).
- You have a specific type of socket (type II) as shown on a special X-ray (CBCT).
- Your gum tissue around the tooth is healthy, with at least 2 mm of firm keratinized (tough) tissue.
- You have no health conditions or medications that could interfere with oral surgery, and you agree to take part.

This trial tests whether a dentin graft (made from tooth) or a mineralized graft works better for preserving the jawbone after a tooth is removed in the upper back area. Your participation could help doctors find the best way to keep the bone strong and ready for future implants.
This study compares two ways to preserve the jawbone after pulling a lower back tooth that will later be replaced with an implant. The goal is to see which approach—preserving the bone ridge or letting it heal naturally—helps the implant stay strong.
This study tests a new combination of materials (a special gel and a bone graft) used after tooth extraction to help preserve the bone in your jaw for a future dental implant. It aims to see if this approach keeps the bone strong and healthy compared to standard treatment.
This study is testing a protective membrane (Biotivity A-C) placed in a tooth socket after extraction to help preserve bone for a future dental implant. It may be an option if you need a back tooth pulled and plan to get an implant.
This study looks at whether a procedure called ridge preservation, done after removing upper back teeth, helps prevent the need for sinus bone grafting later. Researchers will compare patients who had this procedure with those who didn't, using 10 years of X-ray records.
This trial tests a procedure to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, before placing a dental implant. It may help patients who need a strong foundation for their implant.
