Earlier implant placement after tooth preservation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if placing a dental implant sooner (about 6-8 weeks after tooth removal and socket preservation) works well with a specific implant type. It is for people who need to replace a single front tooth, canine, or premolar and have good bone and gum health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are in good general health (no uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, HIV, bone disease, or radiation to the head/neck, and not on steroids or bisphosphonates).
- You need to remove and replace a front tooth, canine, or premolar (not a molar).
- After the tooth is removed, at least 3 of the 4 socket walls (especially the cheek-side wall) are mostly intact, with a defect of 50% or more on the cheek side.
- You have enough bone on a CT scan to place a 3.6 mm wide and 10 mm long implant, with natural teeth next to it and across from it.
- Your gums are healthy, and plaque and bleeding scores are less than 20% overall.

Other trials that look related to this one.
When a tooth is removed, the bone around it often shrinks. This trial tests a technique where a small piece of the tooth's root is left in place (the 'socket shield') along with special blood-based growth factors to help preserve the bone and support a new dental implant placed right away.
This study tests a new way of placing dental implants in the front upper teeth. It combines a special technique to keep the natural tooth root in place, with growth factors and a bone graft material, to help the implant succeed and keep the gum looking natural.
This study tests a faster way to place dental implants after a tooth is removed, using special materials that help preserve the bone. It might help you get a new tooth sooner after extraction.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant after having a single upper tooth removed: placing it right away or waiting a few months. Some people also get a bone-grafting procedure to preserve the jawbone. The goal is to see which approach helps the implant heal best and keeps your smile looking good.
This trial compares two ways of replacing a front tooth with a dental implant: placing the implant right after the tooth is removed (using the socket-shield technique) versus waiting a few months. It aims to see which approach keeps the gum and bone around the implant looking and feeling better.
This study compares placing a dental implant right away versus waiting after extracting a front upper tooth. It may help you and your dentist choose the best timing to support healing and implant stability.
