ALVEOLAR RIDGE PRESERVATION

This early-stage trial tests Neobone®, a bone graft material, to see if it helps preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Thirty adults who need a tooth extraction will either receive the graft or let the socket heal naturally. Researchers will use 3D scans to measure bone v…

This study tests two different graft materials made from donated teeth to see which one better preserves the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. About 45 adults needing a single upper back tooth removed will be randomly assigned to receive one of the grafts or no graft at all. Over …

This study compares a new mixture of two bone graft materials to a standard one for preserving the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Thirty healthy adults who need a premolar or molar extracted and plan to get a dental implant will receive the new graft. Researchers will measure c…

This study tests two standard methods—manual scraping with a hand tool or using a small rotating bur—to clean out unhealthy tissue from a tooth socket after extraction. About 60 adults with long-term tooth infections will be randomly assigned to one method, then all receive a bon…

This study looks back at 130 patients who had upper back teeth removed. Some had their tooth socket filled with bone graft material to preserve the jawbone, while others healed naturally. Researchers will compare CT scans taken months later to see if the preserved group has more …
