Preserving jawbone after tooth removal for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need one lower premolar or molar removed and replaced with a dental implant.
- You have at least one tooth next to the one being removed.
- The tooth removal will result in a bone defect on the cheek side of the jaw that is half or more of the bone height.
- You do not have active gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or a history of radiation or chemotherapy in the head or neck.
- You do not take medications linked to jaw bone death, and you smoke no more than 5 cigarettes per day.
- You are not pregnant, and you can maintain basic oral hygiene.

This study tests a technique to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, so there is enough bone left to place a dental implant later. It may help people who need a tooth extraction and want to get a dental implant in the future.
This study tests a procedure that helps preserve the bone where a tooth is missing, before you get a dental implant. It aims to keep the bone strong and shaped well so the implant can be placed more easily.
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 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.
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 early-stage trial tests a bone-filling material called Neobone® placed in the socket after tooth extraction to help maintain jawbone volume. This is important because losing bone after tooth removal can make future implants or dentures difficult to fit.
