Metformin gel for jaw cyst healing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether applying a metformin gel to the cavity left after jaw cyst removal can help new bone grow and speed up healing. It may be a good option if you have a jaw cyst and are in good health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests custom-made implants to help treat jaw cysts that are near important structures. It may be an option for people whose cysts are in tricky locations where standard surgery might be risky.
This trial tests whether a natural blood concentrate (PRF) helps jawbone heal better after removing a dental cyst. It may improve recovery and reduce the need for additional bone grafting.
This trial tests a new way to remove jaw cysts using a tiny camera and special guides, which may help protect the nerve in your jaw. It is for people with a tooth-related cyst at least 2 cm wide that is pushing on that nerve.
This trial tests if low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (a gentle sound wave treatment) applied after surgery to remove a jaw cyst can help the bone heal better and faster. It may benefit people who have just had this type of jaw surgery.
This study tests whether using your own tooth (after it's removed) as a graft, along with a common diabetes medicine called metformin, can help preserve the jawbone where the tooth was pulled. This may help keep the area strong for a future dental implant.
This study tests whether applying a metformin gel to the implant site can help the implant stay stable and improve bone density around it. It may be a good option if you need a dental implant and have healthy enough jawbone.
