Replantation vs splinting for loose lower front teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares putting a loose lower front tooth back in place and splinting it (replantation) versus splinting alone. It's for people with severe gum disease that has caused bone loss and tooth looseness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are generally healthy or any health problem is well controlled.
- You have looseness (grade 3 mobility) in at least one lower front tooth.
- X-rays show the bone around that tooth has shrunk by at least 50%.
- The depth of the gum pocket around the loose tooth is 5 millimeters or more.
- You want to try to save the tooth, not have it pulled out.

This trial tests how much tooth movement improves after deep cleaning and splinting (connecting loose teeth) in people with advanced gum disease. It may help if you have loose front teeth from gum disease.
This study tests different approaches to improve gum recession (when gums pull back) using a free gum-tissue graft. It may help people who have a specific pattern of thin, low-attached gum tissue and need grafting on the lower front teeth.
This study tests two ways of placing dental implants in the lower front jaw for people who have lost all their teeth. It aims to find which method works better for supporting a full denture.
This trial tests how well two dental implants support a bridge or partial denture in the lower jaw when you have loose or missing front teeth. The goal is to see how long the implants last with different loading schedules.
This trial tests two ways to place a dental implant right after pulling a front tooth that can't be saved. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root (called a socket shield) and places a temporary crown right away. The other method waits a few months before placing the implant.
This trial compares two ways of connecting single dental crowns (splinted vs not splinted) on dental implants. It looks at how well the gums and bone stay stable around the implants over time, after the crowns are put in.
