Comparing gum and bone grafting for immediate tooth implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at two ways to support the gum and bone around a new tooth implant placed right after a tooth is removed. It aims to find out if adding a bone graft helps improve the results compared to using only a gum graft, which may lead to better healing and appearance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need to have a front tooth or premolar removed and replaced with an implant.
- The tooth next to the failing tooth and the tooth opposite must be natural (not implants or bridges).
- You have healthy gums with minimal plaque or bleeding.
- You have a thick gum type and enough attached gum tissue.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits for one year after the implant.
- You are not a smoker, have no active gum disease or infections, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 trial tests two ways to support the gum around a new dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It compares a special blood-clot material (L-PRF) to a connective tissue graft to see which heals better.
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 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.
This study compares two types of gum grafts to see which works better when placing dental implants. It may help improve gum health and implant success.
This study compares two ways to place a dental implant right after removing a damaged front tooth. It also uses a bone graft to support the implant. The goal is to find which method gives better results for people with healthy gums and enough bone.
