Collagen membranes for healing after wisdom tooth surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing a collagen membrane after wisdom tooth removal helps the nearby second molar heal better. If you have impacted lower wisdom teeth on both sides, this study may compare healing with and without the membrane.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 25 years old or older.
- Your lower wisdom teeth are angled forward or sideways and sit below the level of the neighboring tooth's chewing surface.
- Both lower wisdom teeth are similar in position and angle (within 15 degrees of each other).
- The second molars (the teeth just in front of your wisdom teeth) have no cavities or fillings that might interfere with healing measurement.
- You do not have bleeding or immune disorders, allergies to local anesthesia or pig products, and you are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or a smoker.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a regenerative gel placed in the socket after wisdom tooth removal to improve healing. It may reduce pain, swelling, and speed up recovery.
This study tests if removing a wisdom tooth helps the gum and bone behind the nearby second molar heal better. It may be relevant if you need a lower wisdom tooth taken out.
This trial tests if a natural blood-clotting treatment (platelet rich fibrin) helps reduce gum pocket depth and sensitivity around the tooth next to your impacted wisdom tooth after surgery. It may offer a better healing option for people with gum issues near that area.
This trial tests if a gel containing chlorhexidine (an antiseptic) and hyaluronic acid (a moisture-retaining substance) helps your gums heal better after having a lower wisdom tooth removed. It's for people whose wisdom tooth is only partly through the gum, so the wound can't be fully stitched closed.
This trial tests a special bone filler (beta-tricalcium phosphate) placed in the socket after impacted lower wisdom teeth are removed. The goal is to see if it helps the bone heal better than not using it.
This study compares using a medical glue (cyanoacrylate) versus stitches to close the gum after removing impacted wisdom teeth. It may help reduce pain and speed up healing.
