U.S., Sept. 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07171879) titled 'Pontic Shield and Mineralized Plasmatic Matrix for Ridge Preservation: A Randomized Clinical Trial' on Sept. 06.

Normally, when a tooth is taken out, the bone and gums in that area shrink, which can make future dental treatment more difficult and affect appearance.
