About this study

Official title: Comparison of Non-grafted Socket Shield Technique With Guided Bone Regeneration in Immediate Implant Placement

Among the individuals who applied to the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Health Sciences University between 2019 and 2021, patients with an unrestorable tooth in the maxillary esthetic region and required implant placement were included in this randomized clinical trial. Before implant surgery, patients were randomized into socket shield technique and guided bone regeneration groups. While the buccal gap was untreated in the socket shield group, a xenograft, and membrane were applied in the regeneration group. Peri-implant pocket depth, modified plaque index, modified bleeding index, keratinized mucosa width, and mucosal thickness were recorded at the permanent restoration and the postoperative first year. Horizontal bone level and vertical bone level were assessed with cone beam computed tomography images taken before the surgery and one year after prosthesis insertion. The pink esthetic score was evaluated with intraoral photographs taken before the surgical procedure and first-year follow-up.

Read the detailed description

This study aimed to compare the non-grafted socket shield technique with simultaneously guided bone regeneration in immediate implant placement in terms of clinical, esthetic, and radiographic parameters. Within the scope, immediate implant placement was applied to randomized groups (socket shield technique and guided bone regeneration). Immediate implant placement was performed following shield preparation in the shield group, and guided bone regeneration was applied in the regeneration group. A temporary non-functional immediate prosthesis was inserted at the same visit. After four months, permanent restorations were applied. Clinical, radiographic, and esthetic parameters were compared between two groups at baseline and first-year follow-up.

What participants receive

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

  • Socket shield techniqueProcedure or surgery

    For the patients in the shield group, shields were prepared with the Root Membrane Kit. After the palatal part was removed, the buccal fragment was prepared at the crest level, and an internal bevel chamfer was formed on the fragment. Implants were placed 3-4 mm apical to the gingival margin of the adjacent teeth. Healing caps were placed, and the periphery of the caps was covered with an absorbable gelatin sponge.

  • Guided bone regenerationProcedure or surgery

    For the patients in the regeneration group, teeth were extracted atraumatically, implants were placed 3-4 mm to the gingival margin, and the space between the implant and buccal bone was filled with anorganic bovine bone graft at the time of implant placement. The graft particles were covered by a pericardium membrane. The membrane was fixed to the bone with titanium pins.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peri-implant probing depth

    Probing depth measured by Williams periodontal probe

    Measured: Four months after implant restoration and first-year follow-up

  2. Modified plaque index

    An index evaluated by the Williams periodontal probe indicates a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 3, with higher values indicating a worse outcome

    Measured: Four months after implant restoration and first-year follow-up

  3. Modified bleeding index

    An index evaluated by the Williams periodontal probe indicates a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 3, with higher values indicating a worse outcome

    Measured: Four months after implant restoration and first-year follow-up

  4. Keratinized mucosa width

    The distance from the peri-implant mucosa margin to the mucogingival junction

    Measured: Four months after implant restoration and first-year follow-up

  5. Mucosal thickness

    The thickness measured at 1.5 mm from the margin by the endodontic spreader

    Measured: Four months after implant restoration and first-year follow-up

  6. Radiographic bone level in the horizontal dimension

    Horizontal bone level measured at cone beam computed tomography images

    Measured: Before implant surgery and first year follow-up

  7. Radiographic bone level in the vertical dimension

    Vertical bone level measured at cone beam computed tomography images

    Measured: Before implant surgery and first year follow-up

  8. Pink esthetic score

    A score as assessed by intraoral photographs, showing a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 14, with higher values indicating a better esthetic result

    Measured: Before implant surgery and first year follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Socket shield technique and Guided bone regeneration in people with Immediate Implant Placement, run by Kutahya Health Sciences University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 inclusion and 10 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 Aug 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Peri-implant probing depth (time frame: Four months after implant restoration and first-year follow-up). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Aug 2023.
