This trial compares three techniques to thicken gum tissue around a single dental implant in the back of the lower jaw. It may help if you have thin gums and need a dental implant.
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.
This study compares two ways to add healthy gum tissue around dental implants: one uses a special gum graft material, the other uses a piece of your own gum. It aims to see which method works better for keeping implants stable and healthy.
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 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.
