NCT ID NCT06944639
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study compares how quickly three different collagen membranes break down when placed in the mouth. These membranes are used in dental surgery to help healing and tissue growth. Twenty healthy adults will have a membrane placed near their upper back gums, and researchers will measure breakdown over time. The goal is to help dentists choose the best membrane for each procedure.
