New technique to save jawbone during tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to remove a single-rooted tooth (like a front tooth) while helping preserve the jawbone. It might be a good option if you need a tooth pulled and want to keep the bone healthy for future implants or healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 years or older.
- Need a single-rooted tooth (like a front tooth) that either cannot be saved or must be removed for orthodontic reasons.
- Tooth should have little to no looseness (mobility grade 0 or 1).
- Cannot be pregnant or a heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day).
- No major uncontrolled health conditions or recent treatments (like radiation or bisphosphonates) that affect healing.

This trial compares a new, gentler surgical tool called piezosurgery (which uses ultrasound vibrations) with standard tools for jaw repositioning surgery. It aims to see if piezosurgery causes less damage to nearby tissues and speeds up recovery.
This study compares two methods for removing lower wisdom teeth before they are fully grown. It uses a special ultrasound tool (piezoelectric) versus traditional surgical tools to see which is gentler and leads to faster healing.
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 trial tests a way to preserve the shape and volume of your jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Instead of using artificial materials, the dentist grinds your extracted tooth into a natural bone-graft material and places it back into the socket. The goal is to keep the bone strong and healthy for a future dental implant or bridge.
This study tests whether using natural material from your own tooth can help preserve jawbone after a tooth is removed. Keeping bone healthy after extraction may make future tooth replacement easier and more successful.
This study tests whether a special bone graft material (carbonate apatite) helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, so you can later get a dental implant. It's for people who need a tooth pulled and are interested in getting an implant.
