ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring a new way to help your jaw heal after a tooth extraction, specifically focusing on the area where a tooth was removed. The study will use a collagen plug and thin slices of your own tooth roots, along with Vitamin D, to support healing and prepare the area for future dental implants. This method is different from traditional treatments, as it uses your own tooth material, which has not been tried before in this way.

To participate in the trial, you need to be an adult who is willing to sign a consent form, and you should have a tooth extraction site in the upper or lower jaw that will need an implant later on. You must also be in good overall health, without serious diseases that could affect healing. Participants can expect to receive treatment that aims to improve healing and stability in the area after tooth removal. It's important to note that some patients, such as those who are pregnant, have certain health conditions, or smoke heavily, may not be eligible for this study.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Willing to sign written subject consent
• • 2. The tooth extraction socket is located in the anterior and posterior areas of the upper and lower jaws.
• • 3. The area of the extraction socket (bone defect) in the mouth will need to be treated with artificial dental implants in the future.
• • 4. The patient does not have systemic diseases (such as patients with hypertension, osteoporosis, bone-related diseases, kidney disease, thyroid and parathyroid diseases, etc.).
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Patients with potentially weakened healing abilities such as cancer, diabetes, bone infection, tuberculosis, anemia due to heme abnormalities or congenital immune deficiency, cellulitis, acute periodontal cyst, severe cusp disease (cyst size) \>2mm2) or patients with dental and jaw lesions.
• • 2. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• • 3. Exclude heavy smokers or betel nut chewers who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes per day.
• • 4. The bone defect in the extraction socket is severe and requires other bone regeneration surgeries (GBR), otherwise it will not be possible to have enough volume to provide artificial dental implants in the future.
