Timing of gum tissue graft after a new tooth implant
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies the best timing for placing a gum (soft tissue) graft after getting an implant right away when a tooth is removed. It may help improve healing and the long-term appearance and stability of the implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 20 years old
- Have good oral hygiene (your dentist/clinic checks plaque is 25% or less across your whole mouth)
- Need to remove a front or premolar tooth in the upper (maxilla) row, and at least one nearby tooth must remain
- Have enough bone (at least 3 mm) in the right spot on a CBCT scan to help the implant stay stable
- Have intact (not broken) outer cheek bone wall at the time the tooth is removed
- Be able to sign written informed consent

This study tests three different ways to rebuild gum and bone around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It may help if you need a front tooth, canine, or premolar removed and have enough bone for the implant.
This study compares placing a dental implant right away versus waiting after extracting a front upper tooth. It may help you and your dentist choose the best timing to support healing and implant stability.
This study looks at two ways to support the gum and bone around a new tooth implant placed right after a tooth is removed. It aims to find out if adding a bone graft helps improve the results compared to using only a gum graft, which may lead to better healing and appearance.
This study compares two types of gum grafts to see which works better when placing dental implants. It may help improve gum health and implant success.
This trial compares two different times to do a gum graft around a dental implant in the lower back jaw. It aims to find out which timing works better for patients who don't have enough thick gum tissue (less than 2 mm).
This study compares two ways to rebuild bone and gum around a dental implant placed immediately after removing a failing front tooth. It may help patients who need a tooth replaced in the smile zone and have enough healthy bone to support the implant.
