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 study looks at two ways to support the gum and bone around a new tooth implant placed right after a tooth is removed. It aims to find out if adding a bone graft helps improve the results compared to using only a gum graft, which may lead to better healing and appearance.
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 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 study compares two types of gum grafts to see which works better when placing dental implants. It may help improve gum health and implant success.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant right after removing a damaged back tooth. One method leaves the gums undisturbed, the other uses a small gum modification. The goal is to see which approach gives better healing and long-term success.
