Melatonin gel for stronger dental implant healing
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying a melatonin gel to the implant site right after a tooth is pulled can help the bone grow stronger and make the implant more stable. If you need a front tooth or premolar replaced with an implant, this treatment might help you heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You need to have a front tooth or premolar pulled that can't be saved
- You are generally healthy and don't have conditions that slow healing (like uncontrolled diabetes)
- You have not taken bone-strengthening drugs (like Fosamax) or had radiation to your head or neck
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you smoke less than 20 cigarettes a day
- You are willing to get a dental implant right after the tooth is pulled and come back for checkups

This study tests whether a special graft made from your own tooth material, with or without melatonin (an antioxidant), helps new dental implants integrate better into bone after tooth extraction. The goal is to improve how well implants take hold and function.
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 trial compares placing a dental implant right after a tooth is pulled versus waiting for the socket to heal first. It aims to see which timing leads to better healing at the molecular level.
This study tests a way to place a dental implant immediately after removing a hopeless back tooth, and to help the gums and bone heal better. It may help people who have enough healthy gum and bone and can follow strict mouth-care rules.
This study tests a new approach to placing dental implants sooner after tooth extraction, using special materials to preserve the bone. It may reduce the time you have to wait before getting your implant.
This study compares how well dental implants integrate into bone depending on the surgical technique used and implant position. If you need tooth extraction and implant replacement, this research may help dentists improve implant success rates.
