NCT ID NCT05940662
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.
