Using a collagen membrane to preserve gum bone after dental implant
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special collagen material placed around a new dental implant can help prevent bone loss in the upper front gum area. It is for people needing a single implant in a specific tooth zone and may help keep the bone strong for a better cosmetic result.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are generally healthy and 18 years or older.
- You need a single dental implant in the upper front area (from the second premolar on one side to the second premolar on the other).
- The bone width at the implant site is 6 mm or less at its narrowest part.
- You have at least 2 mm of attached gum (the firm gum around the tooth).
- You are willing to keep good oral hygiene and attend all follow-up visits.
- You understand the surgery and can sign a consent form.

This study compares two ways to add gum tissue around a dental implant to improve its appearance and health. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, and the other uses a special collagen material.
This trial tests how well a collagen membrane helps heal the gum and jawbone after an implant is placed. If you need a dental implant and have a small bone gap or thin bone, this study may be a good option.
This study compares two types of collagen membranes used to help rebuild bone around a dental implant. If you need a single implant in the front of your mouth and a bone graft at the same time, this trial may help determine which membrane works best.
This trial tests whether a collagen matrix can help improve the gum tissue around dental implants that have thin or insufficient gum width. It may help patients with narrow gum bands around their implants.
This trial tests whether adding a soft-tissue gum graft procedure can improve healing and reduce inflammation in moderate to severe peri-implantitis (inflammation and tissue damage around a dental implant). It may help patients by targeting both the gum tissue and the area around the implant that is bleeding or has deep pockets.
This trial compares two ways to thicken the gum tissue around a new dental implant in the lower back jaw. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, the other uses a collagen material.
