ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a dental procedure called socket preservation, which helps to maintain the shape of the jawbone after a tooth is removed. The researchers want to find out if using a special mixture of dentin graft (a type of natural tooth material) and a substance called autologous fibrin glue (which helps promote healing) is better for preserving bone shape than using dentin graft alone. They will measure changes in the width and height of the jawbone both before and after the procedure.

To participate in this study, you need to be a healthy adult, at least 18 years old, and a non-smoker. You should have a tooth that can’t be saved, such as one with a fracture or severe decay, and the area where the tooth was removed should be healthy. However, if you have certain health conditions or a history of specific treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, you may not be eligible. Participants can expect to attend follow-up visits to monitor their healing and the changes in their jawbone. This study aims to improve dental procedures and outcomes for patients in the future.
