Bone healing with special materials for front tooth implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to place a dental implant in the upper front teeth area. It uses a special material to help the bone heal better around the implant, which may keep the area looking natural.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- The tooth being treated must be in the upper jaw and in the front or side (premolar) area.
- You should not have untreated or uncontrolled health issues like diabetes, a weakened immune system, or a history of radiation or chemotherapy to the mouth or face.
- You cannot be taking certain bone-strengthening medications (bisphosphonates) by mouth or IV.
- You should not have untreated gum disease, and the tooth should not have cracks, breaks below the gum line, or root resorption.
- You cannot have any destructive oral habits like smoking, chewing tobacco, or teeth grinding (bruxism).

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.
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 special healing cap placed right after a tooth is removed and an implant is put in. The goal is to keep the bone and gums healthy around the implant for a better long-term result.
This study compares placing dental implants right after tooth removal, with or without adding a bone graft, in the lower front area. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and long-term success.
This study tests whether placing an implant and a temporary crown on the same day as removing a damaged front tooth, along with a bone graft, works well for patients with some bone loss. It aims to see if this approach can preserve the bone and gum around the implant.
This study tests a less invasive way to build up bone in the upper jaw so that dental implants can be placed. It uses a special bone graft material and a patient's own blood concentrate to help the bone heal and grow.
