Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare peri-implant hard and soft tissue dimensional changes following immediate implant placement with the socket shield technique and immediate restoration versus early type II implant placement with contour graft in the esthetic zone. The primary outcome is the Pink Esthetic Score (PES), while secondary outcomes include mid-facial mucosal recession, radiographic vertical and horizontal buccal bone remodeling, and patient satisfaction after 12 months.
Detailed Description:
Immediate implant placement is widely used for replacing non-restorable teeth in the esthetic zone. However, post-extraction remodeling of the buccal bone plate can lead to soft tissue recession and compromised esthetic outcomes. The socket shield technique has been proposed as a partial extraction therapy designed to preserve the buccal root fragment and maintain the facial bone and gingival architecture.
This single-center, prospective randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the socket shield technique with immediate implant placement and immediate restoration compared with early type II implant placement with contour augmentation.
Forty-two patients requiring extraction of a single non-restorable tooth in the esthetic zone will be randomly allocated into two groups:
Test group: Immediate implant placement with socket shield technique and immediate restoration.
Control group: Early implant placement following soft tissue healing with contour augmentation.
Clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed over a 12-month follow-up period.
