New study tests better bone-saving techniques after tooth extraction
NCT ID NCT06655766
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two methods to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, especially when the bone has a gap on the cheek side. Thirty adults needing a tooth extraction will be randomly assigned to one of two techniques: the socket-plug method with putty bone or the ice cream cone method. The goal is to see which better maintains bone shape for future dental implants.
