Tooth graft with medication for preserving jawbone after tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at a special way to preserve the bone where a damaged tooth is removed. They will use your own tooth (processed) mixed with simvastatin to see if it helps keep the bone shape better for future implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be between 20 and 45 years old.
- You are having a single-rooted tooth (not a molar) removed that is badly damaged, decayed, or has advanced gum disease.
- You are in good overall health with no conditions that might slow bone healing (like diabetes or immune problems).
- You must not be allergic to simvastatin (a cholesterol drug).
- You should not be a heavy smoker.
- You must have no active infection around the tooth or remaining root.

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 of managing the jawbone after a tooth is removed, to see if one helps preserve more bone for a future dental implant. It may help people who need a tooth replaced with an implant.
This study tests a mix of two bone graft materials (one from donated human bone and one from cow bone) to see if it helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, so there is enough bone for a dental implant later. It may be a good option if you are generally healthy and need a molar or premolar removed.
This study tests if a special gel combined with bone graft material helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, preparing the area for a dental implant. It aims to compare this treatment with standard care to see if it leads to better bone healing.
This study compares two ways to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It uses a special sticky bone graft and a natural material called chitosan to help the bone heal better, which may help maintain a good shape for future dental implants.
This study tests a special membrane placed in the tooth socket after a back tooth is removed, to help preserve the bone before getting a dental implant. It may help keep the area strong for the implant.
