ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how well two different materials help bone heal after a tooth is removed. When a tooth is taken out, a bone graft is often placed in the empty socket to help keep the bone from shrinking. This process is called "ridge preservation." In this study, researchers are comparing a bone graft made from donated human bone with a synthetic material called calcium apatite, to see which one helps new bone grow better about 16 weeks after the procedure.
The study is open to adults of all genders, and participants will need to have a tooth extraction that requires ridge preservation. If you join, you can expect to have the bone graft placed during your tooth removal, followed by follow-up visits to check on your healing. This trial is still recruiting people who meet the criteria and want to help researchers learn more about the best ways to support bone healing after tooth extractions.
