New study tests gentler tooth removal for faster implant healing
NCT ID NCT07041879
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two tools, piezotome and periotome, used for gentle tooth extraction before placing a dental implant right away in the front upper teeth. The goal is to see which tool better preserves bone and gum tissue, leading to improved healing and appearance. Thirty adults with a damaged front tooth needing extraction and immediate implant will be followed for 6 months.
