Gum graft boost: platelet gel or probiotics for better implants?
NCT ID NCT07596758
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich fibrin or probiotics to immediate dental implant surgery with gum grafting improves healing and implant success. About 22 adults needing a single front tooth implant will be enrolled. Researchers will measure gum health and bone changes around the implant.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 20 to 45 years. * Systemically healthy patients eligible for implant surgery. * Patients requiring extraction of a single non-restorable tooth indicated for immediate implant placement. * Implant sites located in the maxillary esthetic or para-esthetic zone. * Sites with sufficient apical and/or palatal bone to permit correct three-dimensional implant positioning and achieve adequate primary stability. * Sites suitable for simultaneous subepithelial connective tissue grafting. * Patients with acceptable oral hygiene and good compliance with periodontal and implant treatment. * Patients willing to attend all follow-up visits and comply with study instructions. Exclusion Criteria: * Medically compromised patients or patients with systemic conditions that may contraindicate implant surgery or interfere with healing. * Smokers. * Pregnant or lactating women. * Patients with uncontrolled periodontal disease or poor oral hygiene. * Patients with acute infection at the intended implant site. * Patients with insufficient bone volume preventing immediate implant placement with adequate primary stability. * Patients with a history of head and neck radiotherapy or chemotherapy. * Patients receiving bisphosphonates or other medications known to affect bone metabolism or soft tissue healing. * Patients with parafunctional habits that may jeopardize implant stability or restorative success. * Patients unwilling or unable to complete the follow-up period.
