Light device to preserve bone after tooth removal
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special light-based device placed in the tooth socket after a tooth is pulled. It aims to help preserve the bone so a dental implant can be placed later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult in good general health.
- You need a tooth removed and plan to get a dental implant, but not right away.
- Your dentist says there is not enough bone to place the implant immediately after the extraction.
- The tooth socket has a missing outer (cheek-side) bone wall.
- You do not have uncontrolled gum disease or health problems that affect bone healing.
- You smoke 10 or fewer cigarettes a day (or do not smoke at all).

This trial studies how to care for a just-removed tooth’s socket in the front of the mouth, where appearance matters. It may help improve healing and stability by using socket treatments based on the amount of remaining bone.
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 trial tests two techniques to preserve the socket (the hole left after a tooth is pulled) when there is a small defect in the front wall of the socket. It aims to see which method better maintains bone and gum for future dental implants.
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 trial tests two ways to preserve the bone and gum after a tooth is pulled. It compares using your own tooth material (dentin) versus a donor’s tooth material to help the socket heal better.
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.
