Doxycycline gel sponge for front tooth implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special sponge containing doxycycline (a type of antibiotic) placed around a new implant in the front of the mouth helps it heal better. It's for people who need a single tooth replaced in the upper front area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a single front upper tooth (central incisor, canine, or premolar) that cannot be saved by a filling or crown.
- You must have enough jawbone to support the implant, and the bone must be at least 1 mm thick on the outside (cheek side).
- The gap between the tooth socket and the implant must be 2 mm or more at the top part of the socket.
- You must be a non-smoker with good oral hygiene.
- You cannot have active infections, be pregnant, or have uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disease, or other serious health problems.

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.
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 trial tests a special way to place dental implants right after removing a tooth in the front or side areas of the upper jaw. The goal is to preserve more of your natural bone and gum tissue, which may help the implant look and function better long-term.
This trial tests placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front tooth, even if there is some bone loss. The implant is given a temporary crown and the surrounding bone is regenerated. It may help you get a new tooth faster without waiting for the bone to heal first.
This trial tests placing a dental implant right after removing a failing front tooth. It aims to see if this immediate approach works well in the upper jaw area between the canine teeth.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for placing a dental implant immediately after a tooth is removed. It may be an option for people who need a back tooth replaced and have good overall health.
