Preserving jawbone after tooth removal with synthetic material
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a synthetic bone substitute and a resorbable membrane placed in the tooth socket right after removing a lower premolar or first molar. The goal is to see if this keeps the jawbone and gums healthy for future dental implant placement, using 3D imaging and scans to measure changes over 4 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult older than 18 and able to understand the study and sign a consent form.
- You have at least one lower premolar or first molar that cannot be saved and needs to be removed, with plans to get a dental implant later.
- The bone on the cheek side of that tooth must be intact and at least 1 mm thick, as confirmed by a 3D scan.
- Your mouth must be free of active infections in the area, including pus, fistulas, abscesses, or large lesions around the tooth root.
- Your overall gum health must be good, with less than 20% of plaque and less than 20% bleeding on probing.
- You do not have uncontrolled conditions like diabetes (HbA1c > 7%), are not on medications affecting bone healing (e.g., bisphosphonates), do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and can attend follow-up visits including scans.

This study tests a gel made of polynucleotide and hyaluronic acid that is placed into the tooth socket after a tooth is removed. The gel aims to preserve the bone and gum, which might help the dental implant stay strong and look better.
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 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 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 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 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.
