Alveolar bone loss

This study tests whether placing an implant immediately after extracting a damaged molar, along with a custom-made healing abutment, helps preserve the surrounding gum and bone. Researchers will group participants by the shape of the empty tooth socket and track tissue volume, im…

This study is testing whether a special gel, made from a temperature-sensitive material and loaded with growth factors, can help the jawbone heal and regenerate after impacted wisdom teeth are removed. The gel is liquid when stored cold but turns into a gel at body temperature, d…

This study looks at whether bone grafting right after a molar extraction is necessary or if it can be delayed until the dental implant is placed. Forty adults needing a molar implant will be randomly assigned to get either immediate grafting or delayed grafting. The goal is to se…

This study tests whether a donor tooth-derived bone graft works as well as a patient's own tooth graft for preserving jawbone after impacted wisdom tooth extraction. Forty adults with similar impacted wisdom teeth on both sides of the jaw will receive one graft type per side. Res…

This trial tests whether applying a regenerative gel called Emdogain to the root of the second molar during wisdom tooth removal can prevent the deep pockets and bone loss that often develop on that tooth afterward. The study involves 70 healthy adults who need a lower wisdom too…

This study compares two surgical techniques to rebuild lost jawbone in the back of the lower jaw. One method uses the patient's own bone chips with a membrane, while the other uses a special plastic membrane. Sixteen adults with thin jawbones will be treated, and after six months…

This early-stage trial tests whether a bone graft material called beta-TCP (Neocement Inject P®) can better preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, compared to letting the socket heal naturally. Thirty adults needing a tooth extraction will be randomly assigned to receive t…

This study tests whether adding a resorbable collagen membrane to a bone graft helps preserve the shape and volume of the jawbone after a tooth is removed. Thirty adults with a missing front tooth and significant bone loss will receive either the bone graft alone or with the memb…

This study is testing whether waiting 4 months instead of the usual 6 months after a tooth extraction is safe and effective for placing a dental implant. Forty adults who need a single tooth replaced will be randomly assigned to either the shorter or standard wait time. Researche…

This study tests a synthetic bone graft material (biphasic calcium sulfate) used during sinus lift surgery to rebuild bone in the upper jaw. The goal is to see if it safely creates enough bone to place dental implants in people who lack sufficient bone due to sinus expansion. For…

This study compares two treatments to help jawbone heal after a tooth is pulled: the standard platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) made from your own blood, and a newer option using exosomes from stem cells. Exosomes are tiny particles that signal the body to repair tissue and grow bone. R…

This study looks at whether using a small piece of bone from the back of the jaw (maxillary tuberosity) can help rebuild the bone around a dental implant placed immediately after a tooth is pulled in the front of the mouth. Researchers will measure bone thickness, gum thickness, …

This study looks at how well two different bone graft materials preserve the thickness of the front jawbone after a tooth is pulled and an implant is placed right away. About 26 adults who need a front tooth replaced will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two graft types…

This study compares two methods of rebuilding jawbone in people who have lost bone and need dental implants. One method uses the patient's own bone, and the other uses donated (allogeneic) bone. The goal is to see if both approaches are equally safe and effective at restoring eno…

This study looks back at 130 patients who had upper back teeth removed. Some had their tooth socket filled with bone graft material to preserve the jawbone, while others healed naturally. Researchers will compare CT scans taken months later to see if the preserved group has more …
