ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a type of dental treatment called surgical extrusion, which is used for teeth that have been pushed out of their normal position due to injury or other issues. Researchers want to understand how this treatment affects the position and volume of the soft tissue around the tooth, as well as the health of the supporting structures that hold the tooth in place, six months after the procedure. This information can help improve future treatments for similar dental problems.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should have a tooth that has some remaining healthy tooth structure below the gum line and should prefer this surgical option over having the tooth extracted or getting a dental implant. However, people with certain dental issues, like deep pockets around the tooth or vertical fractures, cannot participate. Those who join the study can expect to have their tooth and surrounding tissues evaluated before treatment and again six months later to see how well the surgical extrusion worked. This is a great opportunity for individuals looking for alternatives to tooth removal and wanting to contribute to dental research.
