Could a gum graft replace a membrane for better implant results?
NCT ID NCT07415486
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways to repair bone and gum defects during immediate dental implant placement. One group gets a standard collagen membrane, the other a connective tissue graft from the palate. Researchers want to see if the graft works just as well for bone healing while improving gum thickness and appearance. Twenty-four adults with a failing front tooth will be followed for 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
connective tissue graft and deproteinized bovine bone mineral with collagen (DBBM-C)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a better way to restore bone and gum tissue around dental implants, improving both function and appearance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgical risks like swelling or infection are possible.
