Soft Tissue Outcomes of Badly Broken-down Teeth Treated With Surgical Extrusion Compared With Immediate Implant Placement

Broken Teeth Clinical Trial

Official title: Soft Tissue Outcomes of Badly Broken-down Teeth Treated With Surgical Extrusion Compared With Immediate Implant Placement: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Many patients suffer from badly decayed anterior teeth mostly in young age, causing esthetics and functional issues. This may be due to more than cause as fights, contact sports, accidents and falls.

However; implant placement might not be the treatment of choice in some situations such as:

medically compromised patients with absolute contraindications for implant placement or requiring extensive augmentation procedures, growing patients, patients with financial limitations, in addition to patients living in rural areas with no access for CBCT machines.

Moreover, clinicians must be aware of cost-to-benefit ratios when attempting to recommend a specific treatment modality, especially in patients having financial limitations.

Regarding the aforementioned conditions, surgical extrusion might be considered a cost-effective 'often overlooked' alternative compared to immediate single-tooth implant placement. Regarding healing time, cost, soft and hard tissue outcomes, surgical extrusion may be a good alternative yielding better soft tissue results as we preserve the natural tooth with the whole periodontium.
