A gentler way to place front tooth implants
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Adults 18 or older
- Need a dental implant in the front upper jaw (including premolars, the teeth just behind the front)
- No uncontrolled diabetes or weakened immune system
- No current untreated gum disease
- No smoking, chewing tobacco, or teeth grinding (bruxism)

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.
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 way to place a dental implant in the front upper jaw without a bone graft, comparing a technique that saves a thin layer of tooth root versus using a gum tissue graft. It aims to see which method gives better results for people who need a front tooth replaced.
This trial looks at two different types of bone graft material used when placing a dental implant right after removing a front tooth. It aims to see which one better maintains the thickness of the bone on the lip side of the implant.
This trial tests placing a dental implant right after removing a failing front tooth. It aims to see if this immediate approach works well in the upper jaw area between the canine teeth.
This trial tests placing a dental implant right after removing a tooth, using a small piece of bone from the back of your upper jaw to rebuild the gum area. It may help people who need a front tooth replaced and have a bone defect that requires this type of graft.
