Transplanting premolars to replace lost front teeth in teens
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether moving a back tooth (premolar) to replace a lost or damaged front tooth works well in young people aged 7–15. It aims to help avoid bridges or implants by using the patient's own tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 7 and 15 years old.
- You have lost or need to have one of your upper front teeth removed because of injury, damage, or other dental reasons.
- You have a premolar (a tooth behind the canine) that is still developing and can be moved to the front.
- You are healthy enough for the procedure (ASA I means no serious health conditions).
- You and your parent or guardian agree to be part of the study and come for check-ups for at least 2 years.

This trial tests a tooth transplant method that uses a healthy tooth from elsewhere in your mouth to replace a missing tooth. A special protein-rich material (platelet-rich fibrin) is placed around the new tooth to help it heal and grow roots. It's designed for children, teens, and young adults who cannot get dental implants.
This trial looks at a way to move a patient’s own tooth (or a prepared tooth) to replace a missing or damaged one, using a 3D plan to guide the procedure. It may help restore chewing ability and appearance by using a tooth-shaped replacement tailored for the patient.
This trial tests the Nobel N1 dental implant system in people missing a single back tooth. It aims to see how well the implant works when a replacement tooth is placed right away.
This study tests if a wisdom tooth that hasn't fully formed can be moved to replace a missing tooth. It might help you avoid a dental implant or bridge.
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 study tests two methods for managing the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) when transplanting a fully developed wisdom tooth to replace a damaged molar. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and tooth survival.
