Hard Tissue Augmentation With or Without Connective Tissue Graft in Immediate Esthetic Implants

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dental Implant

In brief

This randomized controlled study is aimed to evaluate the esthetic, clinical, and radiographic outcomes following the placement of immediate single-tooth implant with hard and soft tissue augmentation. Subjects will randomly assigned to one of two groups: * Group A (control group) receiving an immediate single-tooth implant in the esthetic zone with bone augmentation only. * Group B (study group) receiving an immediate single-tooth implant in the esthetic zone with bone augmentation and connective tissue graft (CTG). The main questions it aims to answer is: Is there is a significant difference in the esthetic outcome between bone augmentation alone and bone augmentation combined with connective tissue graft after immediate dental implant in the esthetic zone?

You may qualify if…

• Patients with a non-restorable tooth or a remaining root without signs of acute infection in the maxillary esthetic zone.
• The failing tooth is an incisor, canine or first bicuspid in the maxilla bounded by natural sound teeth.
• Sufficient bone (>4 mm) apically and palatally to allow for proper implant positioning with sufficient primary stability (≥35 N cm).
• Sufficient mesial-distal and interocclusal space for placement of the implant and definitive restoration.

You may not qualify if…
