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 using a connective tissue graft alone versus adding a bone graft when placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front tooth. It aims to see which approach preserves the gum and bone structure better for a natural-looking result.
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 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.
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.
This trial tests putting a soft tissue graft (gum tissue) over a new dental implant right after removing a damaged upper molar, to see if it helps the implant heal better.
