Clinical Trials

UT Southwestern Medical Center’s oral surgery clinical trials give patients access to the most current research available in the treatment of tooth decay and loss, gum disease, bone deterioration, oral cancer, TMJ, facial pain, and injuries to the mouth, jaw and facial nerves. Our dentists and oral surgeons offer clinical studies that include groundbreaking treatments that are unavailable at other health-care facilities.

Our experienced clinicians and researchers continually are investigating how to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes from their dental and maxillofacial conditions. All dental and oral surgery research is approved by UT Southwestern's Institutional Review Board, which reviews clinical trials for their benefits, risks and side effects. Our physicians fully inform patients on these factors before they begin treatment, in an effort to provide medication or surgery that meets the highest standards for quality and compassionate care.

UT Southwestern is a national leader in the evaluation and treatment of mouth, jaw and facial disorders. Our expertise is widely recognized for developing breakthrough treatments for the most difficult cases.
