Light-based device to preserve bone after tooth removal
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special light-based 'nanotechnology' device applied after tooth extraction to help preserve the bone and prepare for a future dental implant. It may help people who have lost bone on the front side of the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult in generally good health.
- You are having a tooth removed and plan to get a dental implant later, not right away.
- There is not enough bone to place the implant immediately after the extraction.
- The bone on the front (cheek side) of the tooth is missing.
- You do not have health problems that slow bone healing, uncontrolled gum disease, smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, are pregnant, or take medications that affect bone.

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.
This study compares two ways of preserving the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, to keep the area strong for a future dental implant. If you have a tooth that needs extraction with a small bone defect on the cheek side, you may be able to join.
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 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 trial tests two materials, Biodentin and a xenograft, to see which one better preserves the bone socket after a single-rooted tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a tooth extracted and plan to get a dental implant later.
This study compares two methods to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, which may help prepare for a dental implant later. It uses either a sticky bone graft or a xenograft with hyaluronic acid.
