Comparing gum grafts for immediate dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a broken tooth that cannot be fixed, such as a front tooth, canine, or premolar with a single root.
- You must have a healthy bone wall (at least 1 mm thick) on the outside of the tooth socket, confirmed by a 3D x-ray.
- You must have good oral hygiene.
- You must not smoke.
- You must not have active infections, bone diseases, or conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disease.
- You must not be pregnant or on chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

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 whether using a special protein-rich blood product (ALB-PRF) with two different types of putty-like bone grafts helps improve the success of dental implants placed right after a tooth is removed in the front upper jaw. It may help people who need a tooth replaced in the 'smile zone' and have good oral health.
This trial compares two different gum-flap designs used when placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front upper tooth. The goal is to see which approach gives better healing and long-term stability.
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 tests whether a special blood-based bandage (albumin platelet-rich fibrin) or a different type (leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin) helps a dental implant heal better in the lower jaw. It may be an option if you need an implant for a back tooth that can't be saved.
This trial tests a special bone graft material placed at the same time as a dental implant to improve bone support around front teeth. It may help people who need a tooth replaced and have healthy gum tissue.
