Comparing gum healing after bone grafting with dental implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant and bone graft to see which heals better. It may be an option if you need a single implant and have a small bone defect around the front of the implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You need a single replacement tooth in an area between other natural teeth
- A CT scan shows a small amount of missing bone on the cheek side of the implant site (up to 50% of the implant height)
- You have natural teeth next to the implant site and on the opposite jaw
- You do not smoke or smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes per day
- Your tooth was removed at least 4 months ago and you have good oral hygiene

This trial tests whether a new bone grafting material (A-Oss) combined with a special membrane works as well as A-Oss with your own bone for rebuilding jawbone before placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more jawbone width to support a single implant in the upper or lower jaw.
This study compares two types of bone-graft materials used to rebuild the bone after a tooth is removed, so that a dental implant can be placed right away. If successful, this could mean fewer surgeries and faster recovery for people who need a single tooth replaced.
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 tests whether placing a temporary tooth (immediate provisional denture) right after implant surgery helps improve bone growth around the implant. It is for people who need a front tooth replaced in the upper jaw and have good overall health.
This study compares how well dental implants integrate into bone depending on the surgical technique used and implant position. If you need tooth extraction and implant replacement, this research may help dentists improve implant success rates.
This study tests a new way to grow bone around dental implants using your own bone chips and a special growth factor. It may help dental implants integrate better and last longer.
