Comparing two methods to improve gum around a single front tooth implant
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods to improve gum tissue around a single dental implant in the front upper jaw. It may help you if you have a missing front tooth, healthy gums, and enough bone and gum width for an implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have good oral hygiene (plaque score 25% or less).
- You have a single missing tooth in the front part of your upper jaw.
- The tooth was removed at least 3 months ago.
- You have enough bone (at least 6 mm wide) and at least 5 mm of firm gum tissue where the implant will go.
- You do not smoke, have uncontrolled gum disease, untreated cavities, or conditions that need major bone grafting.

This trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
This trial tests if a newer, less invasive technique using microneedling and a special platelet-rich substance (i-PRF) works as well as a standard gum graft to thicken thin gums around dental implants in the front of the mouth.
This trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
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 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 study compares two ways to add gum tissue around a dental implant to improve its appearance and health. One method uses a small piece of your own gum tissue, and the other uses a special collagen material.
