Guided implant placement: grafted gum tissue versus flapless
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical approaches for placing dental implants in the back of the mouth. It aims to see which method works better for healing and implant success when you have enough jaw bone and no active inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You need dental implants for missing teeth in the back (upper or lower area 4–7) for at least 3 months
- Your CT scan shows enough jaw bone to place a standard implant (>3.5 mm) without bone-building procedures
- You can and will follow the study steps and give informed consent
- You are not a smoker (more than 10 cigarettes/day or equivalent), and you don’t use alcohol or drugs in an uncontrolled way
- You do not have major health or mouth problems that can interfere with surgery or healing (for example pregnancy, uncontrolled medical issues, or active gum infection)

This study compares two different surgical techniques for managing gum tissue around dental implants during the second stage of implant placement. The goal is to determine which method produces better healing and appearance.
This trial compares two different gum-flap designs used when placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front upper tooth. The goal is to see which approach gives better healing and long-term stability.
This study tests two surgical methods for placing an implant right after removing a damaged front tooth. You may qualify if you need a front tooth replaced and have healthy gums and jawbone.
This study compares two surgical methods to add a thicker band of attached gum around dental implants. If you have thin or missing gum tissue, this trial may help improve gum health and stability around your implants.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant and bone graft to see which heals better. It may be an option if you need a single implant and have a small bone defect around the front of the implant.
This trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
