Socket Shield Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of the Dimensional Changes of Hard and Soft Peri-implant Tissues Around Single Immediate Post-Extraction Implants in the Esthetic Zone With Socket Shield Technique Versus Using Xenograft: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
The aim of this study is to clinically and radiographically evaluate the dimensional changes of soft and hard peri-implant tissues around single immediate post-extraction implants in the esthetic zone.
to compare the efficacy of the socket shield technique in counteracting the dimensional
changes of the soft and hard peri-implant tissues to filliing the buccal gap with xenograft.
- Population (P): Patients with single non-restorable tooth in the esthetic zone.
- Intervention (I): Immediate implant placement with socket shield technique.
- Comparator (C): Immediate implant placement and filling the buccal gap with xenograft.
- Primary Outcome (O): Pink Esthetic Score (PES) (Fürhauser et al., 2005).
- Time frame: 9 months (Chu et al., 2015).
- Study design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.
