Comparing two bone graft materials for front tooth implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial looks at two different types of bone graft material used when placing a dental implant right after removing a front tooth. It aims to see which one better maintains the thickness of the bone on the lip side of the implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one or more front upper teeth that cannot be saved and need to be removed.
- The tooth socket type must be 'Type II' (your dentist will know what this means).
- There is enough healthy bone (more than 3 mm) behind and below the tooth socket to securely hold the implant.
- You do not have any signs of active infection in the tooth area right now.
- You are in good general health, not pregnant, and not a heavy smoker (more than 10 cigarettes per day).

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 compares two methods for preserving bone after a tooth is pulled in the upper front (smile) area. It tests whether a special plug or a membrane does a better job keeping the bone ready for a future implant.
This trial tests placing a dental implant right after removing a tooth, using a small piece of bone from the back of your upper jaw to rebuild the gum area. It may help people who need a front tooth replaced and have a bone defect that requires this type of graft.
This study tests two surgical methods for placing an implant right after removing a damaged front tooth. You may qualify if you need a front tooth replaced and have healthy gums and jawbone.
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.
This trial tests two different bone graft materials used to preserve the jawbone after a tooth extraction. The goal is to see which material works better to maintain bone for future dental implants.
