First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 30 times

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.
