Bone thickness around front-tooth implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a missing front tooth in your upper jaw that can be replaced right away.
- Your gums must be thick (not thin or see-through).
- The bone plate on the front of the socket must be intact but thin (1 mm or less).
- There must be enough bone below the socket for the implant to be stable when placed.
- You cannot be a smoker, pregnant, or have a serious health condition like diabetes or cancer.
- The socket must be free of infection and you must not have had radiation or chemo within the last 2 years.
- You must not clench or grind your teeth.

This trial looks at two different types of bone graft material used when placing a dental implant right after removing a front tooth. It aims to see which one better maintains the thickness of the bone on the lip side of the implant.
This study tests two surgical methods for placing an implant right after removing a damaged front tooth. You may qualify if you need a front tooth replaced and have healthy gums and jawbone.
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 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 trial compares two different gum-flap designs used when placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front upper tooth. The goal is to see which approach gives better healing and long-term stability.
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.
