ALVEOLAR BONE LOSS

This study compares two methods to rebuild jawbone for people missing teeth. One uses bone from the patient's own body, the other uses donated bone. Researchers want to see if both work equally well and are safe. About 26 adults with too little jawbone for dental implants will ta…

This study tests a new bone graft material called biphasic calcium sulfate for sinus lift surgery. The surgery adds bone to the upper jaw so dental implants can be placed. Forty adults who need implants but lack enough bone will receive the graft and be followed for 3 to 6 months…

This study looks at whether taking a small piece of bone from the upper jaw and placing it around a new dental implant helps the bone and gums heal better in the front teeth area. Fifteen adults who need a single front tooth implant and have a bone defect will receive this treatm…

This study tests if placing a dental implant 4 months after tooth extraction works as well as waiting the usual 6 months. Forty adults needing a single tooth implant will be randomly assigned to either the shorter or longer wait. Researchers will measure bone healing and implant …

This study compares two treatments for healing the jawbone after a tooth is removed: a standard method using a substance made from your own blood (PRF) and a newer method using tiny particles from stem cells (exosomes). The goal is to see which one better preserves bone thickness…

This study looks at whether it's better to do bone grafting right after pulling a back tooth or to wait. The goal is to keep enough bone for a dental implant while reducing pain and cost. About 40 adults will be followed to see how their quality of life and bone health compare be…

This study looks at how well two different bone graft materials preserve the thickness of the front jawbone after a tooth is removed and an implant is placed right away. About 26 adults with a non-restorable front tooth will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two grafts. …

This study looks at whether preserving the jawbone right after a tooth extraction can help avoid a sinus lift procedure later when placing dental implants. Researchers will compare two groups of adults: those who had a bone-preserving treatment after extraction and those who did …

This study tests whether ultrasound can track bone graft healing after tooth extraction, compared to standard micro-CT scans. About 140 adults needing a tooth extraction and bone graft for a future dental implant will have their healing checked at multiple visits. If ultrasound w…
