Healing time and tooth socket preservation after molar extraction
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how different healing times affect the success of preserving the bone where a molar is removed due to gum disease. It aims to find the best wait time before placing a dental implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a molar that needs to be pulled because of advanced gum disease (periodontitis stage III or IV)

This study tests if using a special type of bone graft made from a patient's own tooth can help preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed. It compares different healing times to see which works best for keeping the bone strong for a future dental implant.
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 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 approach to placing dental implants sooner after tooth extraction, using special materials to preserve the bone. It may reduce the time you have to wait before getting your implant.
This study tests whether placing a dental implant right after removing a lower molar works better with or without adding a bone graft. It looks at how the bone and gum change over time.
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.
