When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone and gum tissue naturally shrink over time. This shrinkage can make it harder to place a dental implant later and may affect the appearance of the smile. To reduce bone loss after extraction, surgeons can fill the socket with a bone substitute material and cover it with a protective membrane. This study tests a new type of membrane made from magnesium metal (NOVAMag®). Unlike standard resorbable membranes, the magnesium membrane is rigid enough to hold its shape and protect the bone graft even in severely damaged sockets - similar to non-resorbable membranes. Unlike non-resorbable membranes, however, it dissolves on its own within about 16 weeks, so no second surgery is needed to remove it. As it breaks down, it releases magnesium ions that may also help stimulate new bone formation. This study will enroll 10 adult patients who need a tooth removed and plan to have a dental implant placed afterward. After extraction, the socket will be filled with a bovine bone substitute, covered with the magnesium membrane, and sealed with a collagen membrane on top. Patients will be followed for up to 19 months. At 6 months, a CT scan will be used to measure how much bone has been preserved. At the time of implant placement, a small bone sample will be analyzed in the laboratory to assess new bone formation. Patients will also complete questionnaires about pain and quality of life, and the healing of the surgical site will be monitored at each visit. The goal is to find out whether this magnesium membrane can effectively preserve bone after tooth extraction, reduce the need for additional bone grafting before implant placement, and offer a less invasive option for patients.

Bone width is critical for successful implant placement, as thin bone increases the risk of bone loss. Various augmentation techniques-especially guided bone regeneration (GBR)-are effective in restoring bone volume using grafts and barrier membranes. Collagen membranes are commonly used but degrade quickly, leading to the development of improved types like porcine peritoneum membranes, which show better strength and durability. While autogenous grafts are the gold standard, combining different graft materials (e.g., xenograft and allograft) has shown promising results. However, no studies have directly compared porcine peritoneum membranes with cross-linked membranes using such graft combinations. This study aims to evaluate and compare their effectiveness in increasing bone width.

To assess the accuracy of the computer assessed guides in horizontal bone augmentation achieved at posterior mandible using guided modified ridge splitting technique versus free hand modified ridge splitting technique
NCT06900933
Is the use of collagen membrane on top of particulate bone mixture covered by onlay bone block in Maxilla better than the use of mixture of particulate bone covered by onlay bone block without the use of collagen membrane, in terms of bone quantity?
NCT05612737
This case series aimed to assess the efficacy of a novel horizontal ridge augmentation modality using histomorphometry and Raman spectroscopy. Combinations of "sticky bone" and tenting screws without autologous bone were used as augmentative materials.
NCT02154386
Bone grafting following tooth extraction is commonly performed to preserve bony ridge dimensions adequate to support subsequent implant placement. Alveolar ridge resorption commonly occurs following tooth extraction, and the decrease in bone volume has the potential to make dental implant therapy impossible without surgery to reconstruct the ridge. The aim of ridge preservation grafting is to prevent or minimize this resorptive process, thereby preserving an adequate volume of bone for implant placement. Ridge preservation generally involves placement of a particulate bone graft material in the tooth socket, followed by use of a membrane or similar substance over the socket entrance to contain the bone graft. Various grafting materials have been recommended for these ridge preservation procedures, including demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA). The timing of dental implant placement following ridge preservation procedures is controversial, and few studies have examined the effects of different healing time intervals between ridge preservation and implant placement. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the formation of new bone at a site where tooth extraction has been performed followed by grafting using DFDBA. Two different study groups are included, one having the dental implant placed 8-10 weeks after tooth extraction and ridge grafting, the other having the dental implant placed 18-20 weeks after extraction and grafting.
NCT02406924
Twenty four patients with bone resorption on the anterior maxilla will be divided into two groups with different kinds of grafting: bone block associated with particulated biomaterial and particulated mixture of autogenous bone and biomaterial stabilized by collagen membrane and pins. The techniques will be compared according to volume gain, quality of graft osseointegration, implant survival and maintenance of the level of soft tissues.
