Protecting gum and bone after tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special membrane that covers the tooth socket after extraction to help preserve the bone and gum area. It may be an option if you need a tooth removed but cannot get an implant right away.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 years or older
- The tooth to be removed is not suitable for immediate implant placement—this is determined by your dentist based on your gum and bone
- You should be in good overall health with good oral hygiene
- You need to be willing to come for regular follow-up visits and sign a consent form
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and not have taken certain bone-affecting medications recently

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 different ways to preserve the bone where a tooth is removed, which may help keep the area ready for future implants or other dental work. If you're having a tooth pulled due to gum disease, this trial could help maintain your jawbone and support better healing.
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 tests whether a special bone graft material (carbonate apatite) helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, so you can later get a dental implant. It's for people who need a tooth pulled and are interested in getting an implant.
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 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.
