Comparing gum flaps for immediate front tooth implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a front upper tooth that cannot be saved and is partly broken down above the gum.
- The gum tissue in front of that tooth is still intact, even if the bone behind it is weak.
- You have enough healthy bone behind the tooth and at least 3 mm of bone below the socket for the implant to grab hold tightly.
- You do not smoke, are not pregnant, and do not have any serious medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disease.
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation treatment to your head/neck in the last 2 years.

This trial tests placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front tooth, even if there is some bone loss. The implant is given a temporary crown and the surrounding bone is regenerated. It may help you get a new tooth faster without waiting for the bone to heal first.
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.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for placing a dental implant immediately after a tooth is removed. It may be an option for people who need a back tooth replaced and have good overall health.
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 a new way to assess the socket (the hole left after a tooth is pulled) before placing an immediate implant in the front upper jaw. It looks at how thick the bone is around the implant when the gum and bone are healthy but thin.
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.
