This study evaluates the use of Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) plugs-a third-generation healing material made from the patient's own blood-to improve recovery after simple tooth extractions. CGF contains a dense matrix of growth factors and regenerative cells designed to enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration.
Participants requiring a single, non-surgical tooth extraction will have a CGF plug placed into the empty socket immediately following the procedure. The researchers will then monitor two main factors:
* Post-operative Pain: Patients will record their pain levels on a scale of 0 to 10 at 1, 3, and 7 days after the extraction.
* Bone Density: Using specialized imaging (CBCT), the researchers will measure how well the bone heals and fills the socket immediately after the procedure and again at 3 months.
The goal of this research is to determine if CGF plugs can effectively reduce patient discomfort and help preserve bone density, which is critical for future dental treatments like implants.
