Metformin gel for dental implant stability
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying a metformin gel to the implant site can help the implant stay stable and improve bone density around it. It may be a good option if you need a dental implant and have healthy enough jawbone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether a specific dental implant treatment approach works well for adults with type 2 diabetes who are missing at least one tooth. It also looks at outcomes over a long follow-up to help decide the safest, most effective plan for patients like you.
This study tests whether applying a melatonin gel to the implant site right after a tooth is pulled can help the bone grow stronger and make the implant more stable. If you need a front tooth or premolar replaced with an implant, this treatment might help you heal better.
This study tests whether placing a small amount of metformin with your own tooth graft can help preserve the jawbone where a non-molar tooth is removed, especially if the socket has lost more than half of its outer bone wall. The goal is to improve the site for future dental implants.
This trial tests whether applying a special gel containing erythropoietin (a protein that helps healing) around a dental implant can improve how well the implant holds in the bone. It may help people who need a front tooth replaced after extraction.
This trial tests a new bone-graft material (Osteoimplant) to see if it helps hold dental implants firmly in place. It may be an option for people missing one or more teeth who have healthy gums and don't smoke heavily.
This trial tests a natural gel to treat gum disease around dental implants. It may help reduce bleeding and bone loss around implants.
