This study tests a special healing cap placed right after a tooth is removed and an implant is put in. The goal is to keep the bone and gums healthy around the implant for a better long-term result.
This study tests if placing a dental implant sooner (about 6-8 weeks after tooth removal and socket preservation) works well with a specific implant type. It is for people who need to replace a single front tooth, canine, or premolar and have good bone and gum health.
This study compares two ways of caring for the bone after a tooth is pulled, to see which better preserves the bone for a future dental implant. If you need a tooth removed, this could help keep your jaw healthy and ready for a replacement.
This study tests a procedure to preserve the bone and gum after removing upper back teeth, which may help prepare the area for future dental implants.
This study tests a method for placing a dental implant in the lower jaw several months after the tooth was pulled and the socket was filled with a special bone-preserving material. The goal is to see how well the implant and the surrounding bone heal.
This study compares two methods to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, which may help prepare for a dental implant later. It uses either a sticky bone graft or a xenograft with hyaluronic acid.
