ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well a treatment using microfragmented adipose tissue (a type of fat derived from the patient) combined with a bovine graft (a material from cows) works for preserving the bone in the upper jaw after a tooth extraction. The goal is to see if this combination helps maintain the bone better than using the bovine graft alone, which is important for future dental implants. The study will assess changes in the jawbone quality and quantity through imaging and other tests.

To participate in this trial, you need to be over 21 years old and require an implant after losing a tooth due to issues like severe decay or gum disease. You should also have healthy remaining teeth that can support a future dental prosthesis. However, individuals with certain health conditions, poor oral hygiene, or those who smoke heavily may not be eligible. If you join, you’ll be contributing to important research that can help improve dental care for others in the future. Please note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants.
