New collagen graft aims to boost gum health around same-day dental implants
NCT ID NCT05081284
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a volume-stable collagen graft around dental implants placed right after tooth extraction improves gum thickness compared to no graft. Forty patients with a single failing tooth in the front region are enrolled. The main outcome is soft tissue thickness measured at 3 and 6 months after surgery.
