First seen Feb 26, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

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 between the two approaches.
