Melatonin for dental implants in lower jaw
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying melatonin around new dental implants in the lower back teeth helps them heal and stay secure. It may improve the success of implants placed right after tooth extraction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You need a tooth removed from the lower back area and want a dental implant placed right away.

- You are a non-smoker or smoke 10 or fewer cigarettes per day.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis, or other conditions that affect healing.

This study tests whether a special graft made from your own tooth material, with or without melatonin (an antioxidant), helps new dental implants integrate better into bone after tooth extraction. The goal is to improve how well implants take hold and function.
When a tooth is removed, the bone around it often shrinks. This trial tests a technique where a small piece of the tooth's root is left in place (the 'socket shield') along with special blood-based growth factors to help preserve the bone and support a new dental implant placed right away.
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 study compares placing dental implants right after tooth removal, with or without adding a bone graft, in the lower front area. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and long-term success.
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 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.
