First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new method called vestibular socket therapy for placing a collagen membrane during immediate dental implants in people with a damaged front tooth. 18 adults with a single upper tooth needing extraction took part. The goal was to see if this technique better preserves the bone and gum shape around the implant compared to the standard method.
