Gum graft over new dental implant after upper molar removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests putting a soft tissue graft (gum tissue) over a new dental implant right after removing a damaged upper molar, to see if it helps the implant heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a molar tooth in your upper jaw that needs to be removed and it is a straightforward 'Class 1' extraction (no infection or bone damage nearby).
- You should not be pregnant.
- You should not have any serious psychiatric conditions (like severe depression or anxiety).
- Your general health should be good enough for this dental surgery and follow-up care.

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 trial compares two ways of adding gum (soft tissue) around a dental implant—using donor gum tissue versus a different graft material. If you have a healthy implant with some gum recession, this study may help find which approach works better for healing and gum coverage.
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 trial tests whether adding gum tissue around a dental implant helps treat an infection around the implant. It may be a good fit if you have a dental implant with inflammation and very little attached gum.
This trial tests whether using a small piece of tissue from your own body can improve the gum around dental implants. It might help if you have thin or narrow gum tissue.
