This observational study is looking at how inflammation in your mouth (periodontal inflammation) affects how well wounds heal after a tooth extraction. Researchers want to understand the immune response during this healing process. You may be able to join if you are between 21 and 70 years old and need to have a back tooth (molar or premolar) extracted that cannot be saved. You cannot have any systemic diseases that affect inflammation. The study will measure inflammatory cells at 3 months after the extraction to see how they relate to healing. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 25 participants.

Study design

This is an observational study involving 25 healthy adult participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.

What's involved

You would have a tooth extraction, and small tissue samples (biopsies) would be taken during the extraction and at a 2-week follow-up visit. You would also have clinical measurements and X-rays taken before the extraction, at 2 weeks, and at 3 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for 3 months after the tooth extraction.
