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.

This trial tests a special way to place dental implants right after removing a tooth in the front or side areas of the upper jaw. The goal is to preserve more of your natural bone and gum tissue, which may help the implant look and function better long-term.
This study tests a new approach to placing dental implants sooner after tooth extraction, using special materials to preserve the bone. It may reduce the time you have to wait before getting your implant.
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.
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 studies whether placing a dental implant right away or after a delay leads to better appearance and healing. It looks at cosmetic results and X-ray findings, and is for people missing one front upper tooth.
This trial compares immediate dental implants (placed right after a tooth is pulled) vs delayed implants (placed later), with or without a special bone-preserving technique. It is designed for people who need to have a single upper tooth removed and want to know which approach gives the best result.
