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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests if a new blood-clot material made from your own blood works as well as a gum tissue graft to rebuild the gum over a missing front tooth.
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 tests a special bone-graft material mixed with a healing protein (erythropoietin) placed around new dental implants. The goal is to help the bone around your implant grow better and look more natural after tooth extraction.
This trial tests two different ways to improve gum tissue at the same time as placing a dental implant. It may help people who need more gum tissue, especially if they have thin gums.
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.
