Summary
This study looked at 44 people who needed a tooth pulled and a bone graft to preserve the jawbone. Researchers compared mixing the bone graft with either a steroid (dexamethasone) or plain salt water. After 16 weeks, they measured how much new bone formed and found no meaningful difference between the two groups.
