Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate for preserving the ridge after tooth extraction

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this randomized, early-phase study, participants needing a tooth extraction are assigned to receive beta-tricalcium phosphate graft material or allow natural healing. Procedures include CBCT and intra-oral scans after extraction and at six months to measure bone height, width, and density at the extraction site. The goal is to determine if the grafted sockets better maintain ridge volume for future implant placement. Eligible adults provide informed consent and must meet criteria related to socket type and health status. Safety and feasibility are monitored through standard exclusion criteria to minimize infection risk and ensure suitability for implant-related procedures.
