First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study compared two collagen wound dressings (one from pigs, one from cows) placed over bone graft material after tooth extraction. Nineteen non-smoking adults aged 19-65 who needed a premolar or front tooth pulled took part. The goal was to see if one dressing led to thicker gum tissue or better bone density at the extraction site.
