Hyaluronic acid gel vs bone graft for tooth socket healing
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if a gel made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid (a natural substance found in the body) can help preserve the jawbone where a tooth is removed, before a dental implant is placed later. It compares this gel to a standard bone graft material.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and need a non-molar tooth pulled from your upper jaw.
- You plan to get a dental implant in that spot later.
- You do not have any chronic disease (like uncontrolled diabetes) or take medications that slow healing.
- The tooth site is free of infection, pain, or a fistula.
- After the tooth is removed, less than 25% of the bone on the outer side is missing.
- You are not allergic to hyaluronic acid or bone graft materials, and you are not pregnant.

This trial tests a gel made of hyaluronic acid and polynucleotides to help preserve the bone and gum after a tooth is pulled. It may help you keep a healthy foundation for a future dental implant.
This study tests a new, non-surgical way to fill in missing gum tissue between teeth using a hyaluronic acid gel. It may be an option for people who have a specific type of gum recession and are in good overall health.
This study tests an injectable bone graft material placed in the socket after removing a back tooth in the lower jaw. The goal is to preserve the bone and prepare it for a future implant (artificial tooth root).
This study tests a bone graft material (OsteoGen®) placed in the tooth socket after extraction to help the bone heal and get ready for a dental implant. It may be right for you if you need a single tooth pulled and plan to get an implant.
This trial tests if placing hyaluronic acid (a natural substance) into the empty tooth socket helps new bone grow better after extraction. It may benefit people in good health who need a tooth removed and have healthy gums.
This study tests a new combination of materials (a special gel and a bone graft) used after tooth extraction to help preserve the bone in your jaw for a future dental implant. It aims to see if this approach keeps the bone strong and healthy compared to standard treatment.
