First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at three different timing options for placing a dental implant after losing a tooth in the upper front jaw: same day, after 1-4 months, or after more than 4 months. Researchers want to see which approach gives the best results for the cost. About 160 adults who need a single tooth replaced will take part. The study is currently on hold.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help dentists choose the most cost-effective implant timing, saving patients money and reducing treatment failures.
What could go wrong
This is a non-randomized, single-center study that is currently suspended, so results may be limited and not apply to all patients. Cost-effectiveness depends on many factors beyond timing.
