Preserving bone around new tooth implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special healing cap placed right after a tooth is removed and an implant is put in. The goal is to keep the bone and gums healthy around the implant for a better long-term result.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 75 years old.
- You have a back tooth (upper or lower) that cannot be saved and needs to be replaced with an implant.
- The teeth next to the bad tooth are healthy or have good restorations.
- You are in good general health (no uncontrolled diabetes, no smoking, no immune problems, no history of radiation to the head or neck, no bone-affecting medications).
- You are not pregnant, have good oral hygiene, and no active gum disease or infection at the site.
- A CT scan will be needed to confirm you have enough bone around the implant site.

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 compares two types of bone-graft materials used to rebuild the bone after a tooth is removed, so that a dental implant can be placed right away. If successful, this could mean fewer surgeries and faster recovery for people who need a single tooth replaced.
This study compares two ways of placing a dental implant after having a single upper tooth removed: placing it right away or waiting a few months. Some people also get a bone-grafting procedure to preserve the jawbone. The goal is to see which approach helps the implant heal best and keeps your smile looking good.
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 a new type of abutment (the connector piece between an implant and a crown) that is designed to look and function more like a natural tooth root. It may help people who have a single missing tooth and need a second surgery to uncover their implant.
This trial compares placing a dental implant right after a tooth is pulled versus waiting for the socket to heal first. It aims to see which timing leads to better healing at the molecular level.
