Growing bone at tooth gap sites with or without bridge
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether bone can be developed at the site of a missing tooth in your smile zone, with or without a temporary tooth bridge. The goal is to improve the site for a future implant or bridge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one or more missing teeth in your smile zone (between your back teeth on both sides)
- Your tooth has been missing for at least 3 months
- You are generally healthy with no major medical conditions
- You are 18 years or older
- You have healthy gums with at least 2mm of tough gum tissue next to the teeth on either side of the gap
- You are a non-smoker

This study tests two ways to build up gum tissue where a tooth is missing before placing an implant or bridge. It compares using a small piece of your own gum (connective tissue graft) versus a man-made collagen material to see which gives better volume and shape.
This study compares two ways to rebuild gum tissue where a tooth is missing in the front of the upper jaw. One method uses platelet-rich fibrin (a concentrate from your own blood to help healing), and the other uses a small piece of tissue graft. The goal is to see which approach better restores gum shape and volume.
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 study tests whether taking a small piece of gum tissue from the roof of the mouth and placing it at a missing tooth site helps build up both the gum and the bone before placing a dental implant. It aims to improve the success and appearance of the implant.
This study tests whether one of two treatments can improve healing of “intra-bony” gum/bone defects around teeth after deep cleaning. It may help some people with periodontal disease who have pockets deep enough to involve the bone but with certain health and dental conditions.
This trial tests whether a special collagen material placed around a new dental implant can help prevent bone loss in the upper front gum area. It is for people needing a single implant in a specific tooth zone and may help keep the bone strong for a better cosmetic result.
