Alveolar ridge preservation with tooth graft and simvastatin
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding simvastatin (a common cholesterol drug) to a tooth graft helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth extraction. It might improve bone healing for people who need a dental implant later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single-rooted tooth (not a molar) that is badly broken, can't be saved, or is periodontally hopeless.
- You are between 20 and 45 years old.
- You are medically healthy (ASA I or II) and have good oral hygiene.
- Your tooth socket shows no signs of preexisting infection or cyst on an X-ray.
- You are not a heavy smoker, not allergic to simvastatin, and not immunosuppressed.

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 trial uses advanced 3D imaging to measure how well your jawbone heals after a tooth is removed, specifically for people who plan to get a dental implant later. It aims to understand natural bone regrowth without additional procedures.
This study tests a new combination of materials (a special gel and a bone graft) used after tooth extraction to help preserve the bone in your jaw for a future dental implant. It aims to see if this approach keeps the bone strong and healthy compared to standard treatment.
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 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 trial tests a procedure to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, before placing a dental implant. It may help patients who need a strong foundation for their implant.
