Two techniques for replacing a front tooth with a dental implant
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods for placing a dental implant in the front of the mouth when the bone support is partially missing. Both techniques aim to preserve the gum and bone around the new tooth, which may lead to better long-term results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 to 50 years old.
- You have a tooth in the front of your mouth (between the canines) that cannot be saved and needs to be removed.
- You have lost some bone on the side of the tooth facing your lip, but your gum is still intact.
- You have a certain type of bone quality (D2 to D3) as seen on a CT scan, and at least 3 millimeters of attached gum at the site.
- You are not a smoker, not pregnant or nursing, and have no uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes.

This study tests if placing a dental implant sooner (about 6-8 weeks after tooth removal and socket preservation) works well with a specific implant type. It is for people who need to replace a single front tooth, canine, or premolar and have good bone and gum health.
This trial tests placing a dental implant right after removing a tooth, using a small piece of bone from the back of your upper jaw to rebuild the gum area. It may help people who need a front tooth replaced and have a bone defect that requires this type of graft.
This trial tests two ways to place a dental implant right after pulling a front tooth that can't be saved. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root (called a socket shield) and places a temporary crown right away. The other method waits a few months before placing the implant.
This study tests a new surgical technique for placing a dental implant in a front tooth area where the bone on the lip side is very thin. The technique aims to preserve the bone and gum tissue to get a better cosmetic result.
This trial tests a new surgical technique for placing a dental implant immediately after a tooth is removed. It may be an option for people who need a back tooth replaced and have good overall health.
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.
