Biotivity membrane for preserving tooth socket bone
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study is testing a protective membrane (Biotivity A-C) placed in a tooth socket after extraction to help preserve bone for a future dental implant. It may be an option if you need a back tooth pulled and plan to get an implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a back tooth (premolar or molar, not a wisdom tooth) that is planned to be pulled and replaced with a dental implant.
- The tooth socket must be classified as Type I or II (your dentist will check this with a CT scan).
- You must have at least one natural tooth next to the study tooth.
- You cannot have had any previous bone or gum grafts in that area.
- You cannot have active gum disease, cavities, or infections in the nearby teeth.
- You cannot be a heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes a day), or use smokeless tobacco or e-cigarettes.
- You cannot have uncontrolled diabetes (A1c over 8) or take medications that affect bone healing.
- You cannot be pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 new material called Vallomix placed in the tooth socket after extraction to help preserve bone for a future dental implant. It may be an option if you need a back tooth removed and plan to get an implant later.
This trial tests a new membrane to help preserve the empty tooth socket after a tooth is removed, so that a future implant can be placed more easily. It may be a good option if your tooth cannot be replaced with an implant immediately.
