Comparing two methods to preserve gum and bone after tooth extraction
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two techniques to preserve the socket (the hole left after a tooth is pulled) when there is a small defect in the front wall of the socket. It aims to see which method better maintains bone and gum for future dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a tooth (single or double rooted) that must be pulled.
- You should be generally healthy and able to have dental surgery.
- You must have a small hole or gap in the front wall of the socket, but it should not be deeper than one-third of the root.
- You must be 21 or older.
- You must be a non-smoker or smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day.
- You must have good oral hygiene (plaque and bleeding scores under 15%).

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.
This trial tests two different bone graft materials used to preserve the jawbone after a tooth extraction. The goal is to see which material works better to maintain bone for future dental implants.
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 study compares two types of bone graft materials used to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, so that a dental implant can be placed later. It may help you keep enough bone in the area for a successful implant.
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.
