About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Buccal Bone Resorption in Immediate SLActive Implant Placement in Thin vs. Thick Buccal Bone Plates: RCT

The utilization of SLActive implants which allow more rapid osseointgeration with 3 to 4 weeks. will be placed in thin buccal bone as immediate implants to determine the resorption compared to thick buccal bone

Read the detailed description

With the increased demand for aesthetics and the expectation of immediate tooth replacement, improving the treatment options in case with hopeless teeth in the esthetic zone by immediate implants is a need by both practitioners and patients.

Current guidelines, today, restricting such treatment to only thick (+ or = 1mm) buccal bone plates. However, the literature shows that less than 10% of the community have such criteria, making it a high risk but needed procedure.

Soft tissue and bone remodelling after extraction is an inescapable fact. Immediate implant placement cannot prevent soft tissue and bone remodeling around implants (Araújo et al. 2005, Chen et al. 2009), but implant surface treatment and modifications might enhance the maintainability of the supporting structures around the dental implant due to its faster integration, better stimulating the vascular components at the site. This could be tested by the crestal and buccal bone changes, pink esthetic score and ostell readings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bucccal bone changes

    standardized Cone beam computed Tomography The radiograph will be taken preoperatively and 12 month after. The pre and post operative cone beams will be compared to each other observing any changes of the buccal bone at 2 , 4 and 6 mm from the crest, the measurements will be in mm

    Measured: 12 months post loading

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Implant stability

    Ostell readings in isq (range from 55 till over 70) bleow 55 low stability over 55 till 65 moderate stability above 70 good stability

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Crestal bone changes

    Periapical radiograph the measurements will be taken from the platform of the implants. 3 readings will be taken one at the paltform one above and one below according to pattern and form of the resorption.

    Measured: 12 months post loading

  3. Soft tissue thickness

    Periodontal probe

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Post operative pain and swelling

    Blinded assessment ( numerical score)

    Measured: 1 week

  5. Buccal bone thickness

    Cone Beam Computed Topography

    Measured: 3 months

  6. Postsurgical satisfaction

    Questionnaire

    Measured: 1 week

  7. Pink aesthetic score

    Pink esthetic score Scale 0 being the lowest and 14 highest attainable

    Measured: 12 months post loading

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing immediate implant placement in people with Dental Implant and Immediate Implant, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bucccal bone changes (time frame: 12 months post loading). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04731545, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2024.
