ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Socket Preservation," is looking at a procedure that helps keep the bone structure in the jaw stable after a tooth is removed. When a tooth is extracted, the area where it was can lose bone, making it difficult to place a dental implant later on. The goal of this study is to show that a specific treatment method can safely and effectively preserve the bone, making it easier to place implants in the future.

To participate in this study, you should be between 18 and 65 years old and be planning to have a back tooth removed with the intention of getting an implant afterward. It's important that you are open to being treated by dental students as part of their training. However, if you have certain health conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes or significant bone issues, or if you're a heavy smoker, you may not be eligible. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide helpful information on how to maintain jaw health during dental treatments.
