Preserving gum and bone after back tooth removal
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure to preserve the bone and gum after removing upper back teeth, which may help prepare the area for future dental implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a back tooth (molar) in your upper jaw that needs to be removed.
- The bone around the tooth has little to no damage (less than 5mm of opening on the gum or bone).
- You have at least 6mm of bone remaining below your sinus, with 1mm space between the tooth roots and sinus.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are a non-smoker or light smoker (heavy smokers not included).
- You are generally healthy (no serious medical conditions).

This study compares two ways of caring for the bone after a tooth is pulled, to see which better preserves the bone for a future dental implant. If you need a tooth removed, this could help keep your jaw healthy and ready for a replacement.
This study looks at whether a procedure called ridge preservation, done after removing upper back teeth, helps prevent the need for sinus bone grafting later. Researchers will compare patients who had this procedure with those who didn't, using 10 years of X-ray records.
This study compares two ways of preparing the tooth socket after a lower back tooth is removed, to see which gives better healing before a dental implant is placed. Treatment is done by supervised dental students.
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 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.
