Timing of dental implant placement and early healing
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 25 years or older and in good general health.
- You should have a tooth in the front area (from incisor to second premolar) that needs to be removed and replaced with a single dental implant.
- You must be a non-smoker (or have quit at least 3 months ago) and not use vapes or e-cigarettes.
- You should have good oral hygiene (plaque scores 20% or less).
- You must not have any disease that seriously affects bone healing (like osteoporosis, diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis), and you should not be taking certain medications that affect bone or blood clotting.

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 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.
This study compares two types of bone-graft materials used to rebuild the bone after a tooth is removed, so that a dental implant can be placed right away. If successful, this could mean fewer surgeries and faster recovery for people who need a single tooth replaced.
This study tests a special healing cap placed right after a tooth is removed and an implant is put in. The goal is to keep the bone and gums healthy around the implant for a better long-term result.
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.
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.
