Comparing gum and bone healing after implant placement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You have good oral hygiene with low plaque levels (25% or less).
- You need to have a front tooth, canine, or premolar in your upper jaw removed, and at least one tooth next to it is still there.
- You have at least 3 mm of bone at the root tip or palate side to hold the implant firmly.
- Your gum and bone on the cheek side of the tooth are either intact or have only a small gap after extraction.
- You do not smoke, are not pregnant, and have no untreated gum disease, cavities, or other health conditions that might affect healing.

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 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 study tests two ways to help the gum heal around a dental implant placed right after a tooth is pulled. It compares using a small piece of gum tissue from the mouth versus a special growth factor concentrate to see which one gives better gum shape and health.
This study compares using a connective tissue graft alone versus adding a bone graft when placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front tooth. It aims to see which approach preserves the gum and bone structure better for a natural-looking result.
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 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.
