Preserving gum and bone with a new implant healing cap
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of healing cap for dental implants placed right after a tooth is removed. It aims to preserve the natural gum and bone shape for a better final 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 is beyond saving and needs to be replaced with a dental implant.
- Your overall health is good (no uncontrolled diabetes, no immune problems, no history of radiation to the head or neck).
- You do not smoke.
- The teeth next to the bad tooth are healthy or have been successfully repaired.
- You are willing to come to all study visits and follow the study instructions.

This study tests whether using a custom-made healing cap right after placing a dental implant helps the gum and bone heal better around the implant. It may be a good option if you need a molar or premolar removed and want an implant placed immediately.
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 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 study compares how well dental implants integrate into bone depending on the surgical technique used and implant position. If you need tooth extraction and implant replacement, this research may help dentists improve implant success rates.
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.
