About this study
Official title: Effect of Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft With Socket Shield Technique on Periimplant Tissues in Immediate Implant Procedure
The goal of this clinical trial is to Evaluate of the soft tissue profile changes and labial plate of bone in the anterior esthetic area when using socket shield technique in conjunction with immediate implant and subepithelial connective tissue graft, in comparison to using immediate implant combined by subepithelial connective tissue graft. The main questions it aims to answer is :
- does the socket shield technique better preserve gingival contours and connective tissues, resulting in improved esthetic outcomes?
- Researchers will compare socket shield combined with immediate implant placement and a subepithelial connective tissue graft to immediate implant placement with just a subepithelial connective tissue graft to see if more favorable soft tissue profile changes and better preservation of the labial plate of bone are obtained. participants will :

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| socket shield technique | Experimental | Not described Receives: Procedure: socket shield technique; Procedure: subepithelial connective tissue graft; Procedure: implant placement |
| immediate implant placement | Experimental | Not described Receives: Procedure: subepithelial connective tissue graft; Procedure: implant placement |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Assessment of soft tissue profile around the implant
- Scanning of preoperative and postoperative cast , then Volumetric analysis of soft tissue by Superimposing the scans to evaluate the changes in the soft tissues in millimeters.
Measured: change from baseline at six months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Assessment of labial plate of bone around the implant
Preoperative CBCT to measure thickness, height and density of existent labial plate of bone in millimeters at baseline. Then, six months later, a CBCT is carried out to measure the difference between these measurements in millimeters.
Measured: change from baseline at six months

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2026. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Assessment of soft tissue profile around the implant (time frame: change from baseline at six months). 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 3 Sep 2026.
