Immediate dental implants after tooth extraction in the upper jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 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.
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.
This study tests placing an implant right after removing a damaged upper front tooth, using a special technique to keep a small piece of the tooth root to help support the gum. It may lead to a more natural-looking result and preserve the bone in the area.
This trial tests placing a dental implant right after removing a damaged back tooth, using a custom healing cap. It may help people who need a tooth extraction and want a faster path to a replacement tooth.
This study tests two ways of placing a dental implant immediately after pulling a tooth to see which one better preserves the bone and gum. It might help people who need a front tooth replaced and want to keep the area looking natural.
