Clinical Trial Summary

It is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate two surgical techniques for dental implant placement simultaneously with bone augmentation.

Description:

Implants receiving Contour Augmentations at the time of placement are randomized into two groups, submerged and non submerged. Healing is evaluated at 4 months post op compared to the day of surgery.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Hard tissue healing around dental implants	bone healing around Submerged and Non-submerged dental implants will be measured by Periodontal probe and radiographs. A Mann-Whitney U Test will be used to calculate bone healing changes. To evaluate bone healing Mean values, standard deviations and frequencies will be calculated.	4 months
Secondary	Soft tissue healing around dental implants	Soft tissue healing around Submerged and Non-submerged dental implants. Fisher's exact test will be used to evaluate soft tissue healing changes through analyzing the measurements obtained by periodontal probe and radiographs.	4 months
