New membrane could make dental implants easier after tooth removal
NCT ID NCT07091448
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a membrane made from donated placental tissue can better preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, compared to a standard collagen membrane. Twelve adults needing a single back tooth extracted and later replaced with a dental implant will take part. The goal is to see if this membrane improves healing and maintains bone shape, making implant placement simpler.
