Dental implant placement: immediate vs. delayed
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and able to give written consent.
- You need at least one tooth between the premolars (upper or lower jaw) that is beyond saving and must be removed.
- The bone where the implant will go must be healthy and have enough depth — at least 3 mm in the lower jaw or 5 mm in the upper jaw.
- If you smoke, you can join as a non-smoker or a moderate smoker (up to 10 cigarettes per day). Heavy smokers (more than 10 cigarettes/day) are not eligible.
- You must not have certain health conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes, untreated gum disease, or a weakened immune system.
- You must not be pregnant or nursing, and you must be able to attend follow-up visits for 5 years.

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 trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant after a tooth is removed in the front upper jaw. One group gets the new tooth placed right away (immediate loading), and the other group waits a few months. The goal is to see which approach works better for healing and long-term success.
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 trial compares putting a permanent crown on a dental implant soon after surgery versus waiting the usual time. It's for people who need to replace a single missing tooth and have healthy bone and gums.
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 tests a way to place a dental implant immediately after removing a hopeless back tooth, and to help the gums and bone heal better. It may help people who have enough healthy gum and bone and can follow strict mouth-care rules.
