New study tests better way to save jawbone after tooth extraction
NCT ID NCT07154693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two methods to preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. After extraction, the bone can shrink, so a graft is placed in the socket to maintain bone volume for a future dental implant. Researchers will compare a synthetic calcium apatite material in a collagen sponge against a human donor bone graft. About 44 adults needing a single tooth extraction will participate, and the main goal is to measure how much new bone forms after about 16 weeks of healing.
