Different ways to preserve bone after tooth removal
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need to have a single tooth removed due to gum disease.
- You have at least one tooth next to the one being pulled.
- The bone on the cheek side of the tooth is not more than half damaged.
- You are in generally good health, and your gums are clean.
- You don't smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, and you're not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 compares two ways of caring for the bone after a tooth is pulled, to see which better preserves the bone for a future dental implant. If you need a tooth removed, this could help keep your jaw healthy and ready for a replacement.
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.
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 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.
