Healing after tooth removal with bone grafting in smokers and non-smokers
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the mouth heals after a tooth is taken out and bone-preserving treatment is done, comparing smokers to non-smokers. It may help improve care for people who smoke and need dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are in generally good health (any health conditions are under control)
- You either smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day for 5 years or more, or you have never smoked
- You have a tooth that needs to be removed and replaced with a bone graft and a special membrane
- The bone around the tooth and the area for a future implant are in good enough shape (the dentist will confirm this)
- You are not pregnant and not taking medications that slow healing (like steroids, chemotherapy, or certain bone drugs)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how your jawbone changes after a tooth is pulled and a bone graft is put in. If you need a single tooth removed and have good general health, you may be able to join.
This study compares different biomaterials (artificial materials that work with your body) placed in the socket after a tooth extraction to see which one works best for healing. You would need to have a non-molar tooth removed and be willing to let researchers track how well different materials help your mouth heal.
This study looks at how smoking affects the success of a gum graft procedure. It aims to see if the tissue used from the roof of the mouth heals differently in smokers compared to non-smokers.
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 trial tests whether material made from extracted teeth can help bone regrow in the jaw after tooth removal, so you can get a dental implant. Researchers will compare this new approach to see if it works better for rebuilding bone in areas where teeth need to be replaced.
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.
