Comparing two methods for replacing a front tooth with an implant
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You need to have one front tooth that cannot be saved and must be removed
