First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This pilot study compares immediate versus delayed dental implant placement after tooth extraction. Researchers will measure healing-related molecules in saliva and gum fluid over 30 days in 24 adults. The goal is to understand how timing affects early healing, which could guide better implant procedures.
