Preserving jawbone after tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to have a tooth (or teeth) removed in the back of your mouth (premolars or molars) and be planning to get a dental implant later.
- You must be in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You cannot be taking bone-strengthening medications (bisphosphonates) or steroid pills/injections.
- You cannot have had radiation therapy to the head or neck, and you cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study compares two ways of managing the jawbone after a tooth is removed, to see if one helps preserve more bone for a future dental implant. It may help people who need a tooth replaced with an implant.
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 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 early-stage trial tests a bone-filling material called Neobone® placed in the socket after tooth extraction to help maintain jawbone volume. This is important because losing bone after tooth removal can make future implants or dentures difficult to fit.
This study tests whether a collagen membrane (a thin, natural material) placed after a tooth extraction helps preserve the jaw bone. Keeping bone healthy can make future tooth replacement easier and more successful.
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.
