Flapless Immediate Implant Placement With Socket Shield Technique Versus Connective Tissue Graft in Anterior Maxilla

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

IIP+Socket Shield: The socket shield technique, which preserves a labial root fragment to maintain periodontal ligament support.

IIP+CTG: connective tissue grafting which increases soft-tissue volume

Study summary

The present study aims to compare the dimensional stability of the supra-implant complex following flapless immediate implant placement using two socket management approaches: the connective tissue graft and the socket shield technique. Three-dimensional volumetric analysis and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be employed to assess and quantify changes in soft and hard tissue thickness and height surrounding the implant site.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Soft tissue Volume gain/loss — one year
  The volumetric analysis in this clinical trial will be performed to obtain profilometric measurements. intraoral scans will be taken at baseline, 6- and 12-month post-operative for each patient. The best-fit algorithm will be used to superimpose digital surface models, when comparing each area of interest (AOI) throughout out the follow up period. Unchanged neighboring teeth surfaces will be used as a reference for proper superimposition. In each patient, the AOI will be kept constant for all pairwise comparisons. The volumetric analysis software will calculate the overall buccal soft tissue volume loss/gain (mm3) within the AOI for each patient.
