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 good oral hygiene.
- You must not smoke.
- You must not have active infections, bone diseases, or conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disease.

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 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 combines a special gum graft with probiotics and a dental implant placed immediately after tooth removal to improve healing and long-term success. It may help people who need a front tooth replaced.
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 if adding a special blood concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin) to a standard gum graft helps thicken the gum tissue around a dental implant. It is for people with thin gums who are missing a single tooth.
This trial compares two ways of placing an immediate dental implant in the upper front area after a failing tooth is removed. The goal is to see which technique preserves the gum and bone better for a natural look.
