About this study

Official title: Effect of Soft Tissue Volume on Midfacial Gingival Margin Alterations Following Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone: A 1-Year Randomized Clinical and Volumetric Trial

Dimensional changes, including the loss of labial soft tissues and midfacial gingival recession, seem to be inevitable following immediate placement. The clinical relevance of this study is proposing a treatment modality namely customized healing abutment with immediate implant placement that is proposed to minimize and control midfacial gingival recession and support buccal soft tissue contour, and maintain long term stability of these tissue, which might enhance the esthetics

Read the detailed description

Tooth extraction is followed by ridge alteration and soft tissue collapse and recession. Different strategies were proposed to limit this collapse however, the ability of these techniques to mimic the original soft tissue level and to maintain long term stability is unclear (Slagter et al., 2014). Using customized contoured healing abutments at the time of immediate implant placement is a treatment modality to improve esthetics by maintaining the soft tissue level and contour (Ruales-Carrera et al, 2019, Perez et al, 2020). Using connective tissue grafts has been suggested to enhance and maintain soft tissue stability, however, the effect of the combined procedures for maintenance of the soft tissue morphology compared to customized healing abutments alone remains unclear (Atieh et al, 2019).

What is being measured

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

  1. Midfacial Gingival Margin Changes

    will be assessed by measuring the distance between level of soft tissues at mid-facial gingival level of the implant site and a reference line, which connected the facial soft tissue level of the adjacent teeth, at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months of follow up.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Bone labial to the implant

    Two CBCT scans will be done, primary (preoperative) scan and secondary (Postoperative) scan 12 months after, using Cranex ® SOREDEX, Finland.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Volumetric analysis of buccal contour&Total Volume

    To evaluate tissue volume changes in the buccal soft tissue contour in comparison to the original ones, at 2,4 and 6 mm from the pre-operative gingival margin, at 3, 6 and 12 months and will be compared to the presurgical scanned casts

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Connective tissue graft /Bone graft/ Customized HA in people with Customized Healing Abutment Bone Grafts Connective Tissue Graft Immediate Implant Placement, 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 14 inclusion and 6 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 18 Jul 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?

Midfacial Gingival Margin Changes (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT05975515, 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 18 Jul 2024.
