A comparison of two temporary options for tooth replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of making a temporary tooth after a single tooth extraction. It compares a removable device (Essix) with a tooth-shaped bridge attached to the neighboring teeth (Ovate Pontic) to see which works better for healing.

This trial compares two methods for preserving bone after a tooth is pulled in the upper front (smile) area. It tests whether a special plug or a membrane does a better job keeping the bone ready for a future implant.
This trial looks at two different types of bone graft material used when placing a dental implant right after removing a front tooth. It aims to see which one better maintains the thickness of the bone on the lip side of the implant.
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 study tests a new material called Vallomix placed in the tooth socket after extraction to help preserve bone for a future dental implant. It may be an option if you need a back tooth removed and plan to get an implant later.
This study compares two types of bone-graft materials used to rebuild the bone after a tooth is removed, so that a dental implant can be placed right away. If successful, this could mean fewer surgeries and faster recovery for people who need a single tooth replaced.
This trial tests a new method (Next-X) to help preserve the bone where a tooth is removed. It may be for you if you need a single-rooted tooth pulled and your mouth and health are in good condition.
