New study tests better ways to replace front teeth with implants
NCT ID NCT07468760
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two ways to replace a missing front tooth with a dental implant. One method places the implant right after removing the tooth, using a special technique to keep the natural tooth root. The other waits a few months before placing the implant. The goal is to see which method gives better appearance and bone health after one year. About 42 adults with a single non-repairable front tooth will take part.
