ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how the depth at which dental implants are placed affects bone loss around the implant when a temporary tooth is added right away. Researchers want to find out if placing the implant deeper can help reduce bone loss, especially for patients with thin gum tissue. This is important because many people want their dental implants to look natural and stay healthy over time.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult over 18 years old with a single missing tooth in the upper front or premolar area, and you should have enough healthy bone to support the implant. Good oral hygiene and a willingness to follow up for a year are also required. If you qualify and choose to participate, you can expect to receive a dental implant and temporary tooth as part of the study, while helping researchers learn more about improving implant success and appearance.
