Immediate implant with socket shield in upper front teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests placing an implant right after removing a damaged upper front tooth, using a special technique to keep a small piece of the tooth root to help support the gum. It may lead to a more natural-looking result and preserve the bone in the area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an upper front tooth that cannot be saved and needs to be removed.
- Your tooth socket is the type that is fully intact, with no damage to the bone on the lip side.
- You have enough bone below the tooth socket for the implant to be secure (checked with an X-ray).
- You have good oral hygiene.
- You are not a heavy smoker.
- You have no active infections in the mouth, no conditions that prevent wound healing, and no recent use of certain medications (like bisphosphonates).

When a tooth is removed, the bone around it often shrinks. This trial tests a technique where a small piece of the tooth's root is left in place (the 'socket shield') along with special blood-based growth factors to help preserve the bone and support a new dental implant placed right away.
This study tests a new way of placing dental implants in the front upper teeth. It combines a special technique to keep the natural tooth root in place, with growth factors and a bone graft material, to help the implant succeed and keep the gum looking natural.
This study tests a way to place a dental implant in the front upper jaw without a bone graft, comparing a technique that saves a thin layer of tooth root versus using a gum tissue graft. It aims to see which method gives better results for people who need a front tooth replaced.
This study tests a new way to place a dental implant in the upper front teeth area. It uses a special material to help the bone heal better around the implant, which may keep the area looking natural.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant right after removing a damaged front tooth. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root to help preserve the gum and bone, which may look better. It aims to see which method gives better results and appearance.
This study tests two ways to place dental implants in the front of the mouth: one using a standard technique and one that leaves a small piece of your natural tooth (the socket shield) to help preserve the gum and bone. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and a more natural-looking result.
