ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new approach to help improve dental health after the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, also known as third molars. The study aims to see if using special materials called bio-oss and bio-guide can help prevent deep pockets from forming in the gums next to the second molars after the extraction. Deep pockets can lead to problems like periodontal disease, which affects the supporting structures of the teeth.

To participate in this trial, you should be between 26 and 45 years old and have a third molar that is either fully or partially impacted. It's important that you are in good physical health and have no signs of infection or other serious health issues. Additionally, if you smoke heavily, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take certain medications that affect bone health, you may not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to attend regular check-ups to monitor your recovery and the health of your gums. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could contribute to valuable findings in dental care.
