ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to place dental implants right after removing a tooth in the upper front area of the mouth, which is important for a natural-looking smile. The study is looking at whether using a special laser treatment called diode laser photocoagulation, along with a customized healing part, can help improve healing of the bone and gum tissue around the implant. This approach aims to shorten treatment time, make the process more comfortable, and help the gums and bone stay healthy to prevent infections.

People who might be eligible for this trial are adults who need to have a severely damaged or infected upper front tooth removed and replaced immediately with an implant. To join, participants should have good oral hygiene and a specific type of tooth socket after extraction that allows for immediate implant placement. People with certain conditions like damaged bone, heavy smoking habits, or certain medical treatments affecting bone healing would not be eligible. Participants can expect to undergo the tooth removal and implant placement with the laser treatment to see if this method helps improve healing and long-term success of the implant.
