Guidance for tooth extraction: comparing two bone preservation methods
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods for preserving the jawbone after having a tooth pulled: using the patient's own blood cells (PRF) versus a standard bone graft with a membrane. The goal is to see which method works better for maintaining bone shape and density, which can help with future dental implants or other restorations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must not smoke now, or you must have quit smoking at least 5 years ago.
- You need to have at least two teeth that are not next to each other, each with a single root, that need to be removed and the bone preserved.
- You should be in good overall health or have conditions like diabetes that are well-controlled (with A1c less than 7.0%).
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and must not have recent heart attacks or strokes within the last 6 months.
- You must not have had certain cancer treatments (radiation to the head/neck or chemotherapy), bisphosphonate therapy, or other conditions that affect healing.

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 study compares two methods used to preserve the jawbone after a molar tooth is removed, to help keep the area ready for future dental work like implants. It uses either a specially treated piece of your tooth or a blood-based material to help the bone heal better.
This study compares two ways to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It uses a special sticky bone graft and a natural material called chitosan to help the bone heal better, which may help maintain a good shape for future dental implants.
This study tests a technique to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is removed, so there is enough bone left to place a dental implant later. It may help people who need a tooth extraction and want to get a dental implant in the future.
This study tests two types of platelet-rich fibrin gels (one with albumin) mixed with your own tooth dentin to help preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It may reduce bone loss and improve healing for those needing a future dental implant.
This study tests a mix of two bone graft materials (one from donated human bone and one from cow bone) to see if it helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, so there is enough bone for a dental implant later. It may be a good option if you are generally healthy and need a molar or premolar removed.
