ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help prevent bone loss in the jaw after multiple teeth are removed. When teeth are taken out, the bone around the teeth can shrink, which can lead to problems for future dental implants. In this study, researchers are looking at whether using special materials called Bio-Oss Collagen and Bio-Gide can help keep the bone strong and healthy after tooth extractions.

To participate in this trial, you need to have healthy extraction sites, which means the area where the teeth were taken out should be intact, with some specific conditions about the bone structure. People with untreated severe tooth decay, uncontrolled gum disease, or certain health conditions that could affect healing are not eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to receive dental implants and the study materials, and you’ll need to return for follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. This trial is currently recruiting participants of all ages, so if you think you might qualify, it could be a good opportunity to help advance dental care.
