Modified bone-saving implant technique for front teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgical technique for placing a dental implant in a front tooth area where the bone on the lip side is very thin. The technique aims to preserve the bone and gum tissue to get a better cosmetic result.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a missing front tooth or one that needs to be replaced, and the bone on the lip side is very thin (1 mm or less).
- You have moderate to thick gums (not thin or see-through).
- You have good bone quality (your dentist confirms it's type D2 or D3 on a CT scan).
- You have at least 3 mm of firm, attached gum around the implant site.
- You don't smoke, are not pregnant or nursing, and have no serious medical conditions that would complicate surgery (like cancer treatment or taking certain osteoporosis medications).
- You are committed to keeping your appointments and maintaining good oral hygiene.

This trial tests a new surgical technique for placing a dental implant immediately after a tooth is removed. It may be an option for people who need a back tooth replaced and have good overall health.
This trial tests a new way to assess the socket (the hole left after a tooth is pulled) before placing an immediate implant in the front upper jaw. It looks at how thick the bone is around the implant when the gum and bone are healthy but thin.
This trial tests a special bone graft material placed at the same time as a dental implant to improve bone support around front teeth. It may help people who need a tooth replaced and have healthy gum tissue.
This trial tests a special way to place dental implants right after removing a tooth in the front or side areas of the upper jaw. The goal is to preserve more of your natural bone and gum tissue, which may help the implant look and function better long-term.
This study looks at how the bone on the front of your upper jaw changes when a dental implant is placed right after removing a tooth that can't be saved. It may help people who need a front tooth replacement and have enough bone thickness.
This study tests two ways to place dental implants in the front of the mouth: one using a standard technique and one that leaves a small piece of your natural tooth (the socket shield) to help preserve the gum and bone. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and a more natural-looking result.
