Comparing immediate versus delayed dental implants after tooth removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant after having a single upper tooth removed: placing it right away or waiting a few months. Some people also get a bone-grafting procedure to preserve the jawbone. The goal is to see which approach helps the implant heal best and keeps your smile looking good.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 23 years old and agree to sign a consent form.
- You need to have one upper tooth (premolar, canine, or front tooth) that cannot be saved and needs to be pulled, with a healthy tooth next to it.
- The bone around the tooth should have no more than 50% loss on the cheek side (this will be checked after extraction).
- You should be in good general health with no uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.
- You can't be a smoker, and you can't be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your gums should be healthy, with low bleeding and plaque scores.

This study compares two types of dental implant surfaces to see which helps the implant bond better with the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a single front tooth or first premolar replaced.
This trial compares placing a dental implant right after a tooth is pulled versus waiting for the socket to heal first. It aims to see which timing leads to better healing at the molecular level.
This study compares placing a dental implant right after removing a hopeless tooth versus waiting some time before placing it. If you need a tooth extracted and want a dental implant, this trial may help determine which timing works best.
This trial studies whether placing a dental implant right away or after a delay leads to better appearance and healing. It looks at cosmetic results and X-ray findings, and is for people missing one front upper tooth.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant right after removing a damaged back tooth. One method leaves the gums undisturbed, the other uses a small gum modification. The goal is to see which approach gives better healing and long-term success.
This study tests if placing a dental implant sooner (about 6-8 weeks after tooth removal and socket preservation) works well with a specific implant type. It is for people who need to replace a single front tooth, canine, or premolar and have good bone and gum health.
