New dental technique may save jawbone after tooth pull
NCT ID NCT07231874
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 with 3D scans. The goal is to reduce bone loss for better future dental implants.
