Scientists map the healing journey of jawbone for better dental implants

NCT ID NCT03659617

Summary

This study aimed to understand how jawbone heals after a tooth is pulled and the socket is filled with a bone graft material. Researchers followed 39 adults who needed a dental implant, grafting their extraction sites and then placing implants at different times (3, 6, or 9 months later). They closely monitored the healing process with scans, X-rays, and tiny bone samples to see how well the graft worked over three years.
