This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
When a wisdom tooth is surgically removed, the nearby tooth sometimes develops bone loss and gum pockets that can lead to long-term problems. This trial tests whether applying Emdogain®—a regenerative gel made from natural tooth-building proteins—during the extraction surgery can prevent or reduce this damage and keep the neighboring tooth healthier for life.
Wisdom tooth extraction commonly causes hidden damage to the tooth next to it, even in healthy people. Researchers want to know if treating the extraction site with this medication right away during surgery can stop that damage before it starts, rather than waiting and trying to fix it later.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you will have your impacted wisdom tooth surgically removed under standard anesthesia. Before the surgery, you'll receive detailed oral hygiene instructions and a cleaning. During surgery, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive the regenerative gel treatment on the extraction site or to let it heal naturally. After surgery, you'll attend multiple follow-up visits where a dentist will measure and photograph the area around your neighboring tooth to track healing and bone loss over time.
