Immediate Tooth Implants With Socket Shield Technique
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 trial tests a newer technique for replacing front and side upper teeth with implants on the same day the tooth is removed. It uses a special graft material and your own blood product to help the bone heal better and preserve your natural tooth structure.
This study tests a new way to place dental implants in your front upper teeth using bone-grafting material and a technique that preserves more of your natural tooth. Researchers will track how well your bone heals and how stable the implant becomes.
This study compares two methods for placing a dental implant in the front upper jaw without lifting the gum flap—the socket shield technique versus using a connective tissue graft. The goal is to see which approach better preserves the gum and bone around the implant, which is important if you have thick gums and a thin bone plate.
This study tests a technique called 'socket shield' where a small piece of your own tooth is left in place when an implant is placed in your front upper jaw. The goal is to preserve the bone and gums for a better cosmetic result.
This trial tests placing a dental implant immediately after removing a failing front tooth, even if there is some bone loss. The implant is given a temporary crown and the surrounding bone is regenerated. It may help you get a new tooth faster without waiting for the bone to heal first.
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.
