About this study

Official title: Peri-implant Soft Tissue Conditioning of Immediate Posterior Implants by CAD/CAM Socket Sealing Abutments (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)

One of the major challenges one clinician can face while performing immediate placement on posterior area, is the ability of obtaining a hermetic primary closure of the soft tissue. The use of socket sealing abutment may provide advantages in maintaining the existing soft tissue architecture, preserving crestal bone height and reducing the risk of premature loading of the immediate implant during healing

Read the detailed description

One of the major challenges one clinician can face while performing immediate placement on posterior area, is the ability of obtaining a hermetic primary closure of the soft tissue. This technical skill is nearly always combined with invasive surgical procedures and significant post op recovery (displacement of the muco-gingival line, periosteal releasing incision, flaps, sutures, membrane stabilization, …).the use of customized healing abutment may provide advantages in maintaining the existing soft tissue architecture, preserving crestal bone height and reducing the risk of premature loading of the immediate implant during healing.

Moreover, customized healing abutment can passively accommodate the definitive prosthesis with minimal or no pressure placement preventing biological or mechanical trauma during the prosthetic phases. This may lead to better long-term tissue stability and avoid the pain perceived by the patients from compression of tissues in case of standard healing abutment.

the primary aim of this randomized controlled clinical study is to clinically evaluate and compare the soft tissue outcomes of final immediate implant restorations placed in maxillary posterior sites that were conditioned by CAD/CAM fabricated socket sealing abutments versus standard healing abutments.

The secondary aim of this study is to radiographically assess peri-implant bone level changes of the final immediate implant restorations placed in maxillary posterior sites for the two experimental groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cad/cam socket sealing abutmentProcedure or surgery

    Anatomically formed healing abutments that can solve many of the problems inherent to immediate posterior implant placement and to optimize the conditioning of supra implant tissue architecture enhancing the emergence profile of the final implant restoration

  • standard healing abutmentProcedure or surgery

    Standard healing abutment will be inserted after removal of cover screw after immediate implant insertion and then a muco-periosteal flap will be reflected for the primary closure of the socket and sutured around the standard healing abutment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pink esthetic score

    clinical evaluation of soft tissue profile around the implant restorations with minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 10

    Measured: one year of follow up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional implant prosthodontic score

    clinical evaluation of implant restoration assembly and radiographic crestal bone loss with minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 10

    Measured: one year of follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cad/cam socket sealing abutment and standard healing abutment in people with Implant Site Reaction, 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 5 inclusion and 1 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 5 Sep 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?

Pink esthetic score (time frame: one year of follow up). 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 NCT05276765, 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 5 Sep 2024.
