NCT ID NCT05505084
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared five different membranes used to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. Bone loss after extraction is common, and membranes help protect the area for future dental implants. Researchers measured bone changes and tissue quality in 47 adults who needed a premolar removed. The goal was to see which membrane works best, but no clear winner has been identified yet.
