Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 20 to 50 with non-molar maxillary teeth indicated for extraction and intact or minimally compromised bony walls.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute infections, smokers, or those with uncontrolled systemic conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates how different healing intervals affect the success of demineralized dentin grafts used in alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction. Thirty patients with non-molar maxillary teeth requiring extraction will be randomly assigned to three groups, each receiving grafting at different time intervals. The study aims to determine the optimal timing for re-entry procedures to enhance bone healing and prepare for dental implants. Participants will be monitored for healing outcomes to assess the effectiveness of the grafting technique.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the outcomes of dental implant procedures by optimizing the timing of alveolar ridge preservation.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar grafting techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
