BONE REGENERATION

This trial tests whether coating a dental implant with a gel made from fucoidan — a compound from brown seaweed — can improve wound healing and bone regrowth compared to standard implant placement. Twenty adults with early-stage gum disease who need a tooth replaced will receive …

This study tested whether narrow dental implants work as well as standard-sized implants placed with bone regeneration in people with narrow jawbone in the back of the mouth. Thirty adults with a ridge width between 5 and 6.5 mm received either a 3.0 mm narrow implant or a 4.0 mm…

This study tested whether placing a thin bone layer (cortical lamina) over the extraction site helps preserve the jawbone's shape and size. Forty adults needing a tooth pulled were randomly assigned to get the lamina or standard care. After six months, bone changes were measured …

This study tested whether a material made from eggshells (nano hydroxyapatite) can help regrow bone lost to gum disease. 28 adults with deep gum pockets received either the eggshell material or a standard bone-graft material during gum surgery. The goal was to see which one bette…

This study compares how quickly three different collagen membranes break down when placed in the mouth. These membranes are used in dental surgery to help healing and tissue growth. Twenty healthy adults will have a membrane placed near their upper back gums, and researchers will…
