Immediate implant with bone graft taken from the maxillary tuberosity to improve upper front-tooth esthetics.
Official title: Clinical and Esthetic Outcomes of Immediate Implant Placement With Autogenous Maxillary Tuberosity Graft in the Esthetic Zone: A Prospective Case Series
Run by University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City · NCT07460076 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tries placing an implant immediately after extraction and using bone taken from the maxillary tuberosity to improve bone thickness, gum support, and esthetic outcomes for adults needing a single upper front-tooth replacement.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults who need a single implant in the maxillary esthetic zone, are candidates for immediate implant placement, and have a buccal bone defect suitable for augmentation with a maxillary tuberosity autograft.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled systemic disease, prior head and neck radiotherapy, active oral infection, heavy smoking, insufficient bone for the planned protocol, or severe parafunctional habits are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This prospective interventional case series combines immediate implant placement in the maxillary esthetic zone with a two-layer autogenous graft harvested from the maxillary tuberosity (cortical bone plus connective tissue). Patients requiring extraction and a single upper-front implant receive the graft at the time of implant placement and are followed with clinical exams and cone-beam CT imaging. Primary outcomes are buccal bone thickness on CBCT, facial soft tissue thickness measured clinically, and the pink esthetic score after definitive restoration. Follow-up assessments will track radiographic and esthetic changes to determine whether the tuberosity graft improves peri-implant tissue stability.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could increase buccal bone and soft-tissue support around immediate upper-front implants, improving esthetic scores and long-term stability.
How similar studies have gone: Small case series and clinical reports have reported promising bone and esthetic results with maxillary tuberosity autografts, but high-quality randomized trials are limited.
