ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying what happens to the bone and soft tissue in the mouth after people have two teeth removed in the front part of the upper jaw, known as the anterior maxilla. Specifically, researchers want to find out if there is a significant loss of bone in the area where the teeth were removed and if this loss varies depending on where the teeth were located. They will also look at changes in the thickness of the soft tissue and the height of the gum tissue after the extractions.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and require two consecutive teeth extractions in the front of your mouth. You should also be in good general health and have healthy gums. Participants will have their extractions done and then will be observed for about 8 weeks to see how the area heals on its own without any special treatment. This research aims to help improve future dental procedures and patient care in similar situations.
