Ridge Preservation After Back Tooth Extraction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You had upper back teeth (molars or premolars) extracted
- You either had ridge preservation done after extraction OR had normal healing without the procedure
- You don't have active tooth infections, abscesses, or chronic draining sores near the extraction site
- Your dental records and X-rays from the past 10 years are available

This study compares two ways to preserve the jawbone after pulling a lower back tooth that will later be replaced with an implant. The goal is to see which approach—preserving the bone ridge or letting it heal naturally—helps the implant stay strong.
This trial tests a way to preserve the bone where an infected tooth is removed. It may help patients who need a tooth extraction and want to keep their jawbone healthy for future dental work.
This trial tests whether a dentin graft (made from tooth) or a mineralized graft works better for preserving the jawbone after a tooth is removed in the upper back area. Your participation could help doctors find the best way to keep the bone strong and ready for future implants.
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.
This study compares two techniques for preserving the bone and gum after removing an upper front tooth. The goal is to see which method keeps the area looking and working best for a future implant or bridge.
This study tests a method to preserve the jawbone after removing a lower back tooth, before placing a dental implant. It is conducted in a student setting, meaning dental students will perform the procedure under supervision.
