Phase 4 — The treatment has already been approved. Researchers are tracking how it works in a large number of people over time.
When a tooth is extracted, the bone in the socket can shrink over time, which can make it harder to place a dental implant later. This trial is testing whether filling the extraction socket with crushed vitamin K2 capsules helps the bone stay denser and maintain its shape better. Researchers will compare bone healing in patients who receive this treatment to patients who have extraction alone.
After tooth extraction, bone naturally resorbs (shrinks), which can limit options for tooth replacement with implants. This study investigates whether this medication can slow that bone loss and help preserve the socket for future dental restoration.

You will have a tooth extraction under local anesthesia. Depending on which group you're randomly assigned to, your extraction socket will either be filled with crushed vitamin K2 and covered with a protective sponge, or left to heal naturally with just a protective sponge. You'll return after 4 months for imaging scans to measure bone density and socket size, and again when you're ready for implant placement, at which time a small bone sample will be taken for analysis.
