Peri-Implant Hard and Soft Tissue Changes After Immediate Implant Placement With Socket Shield and Immediate Restoration Versus Early Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone
Sponsor: Gulf Medical University
Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare peri-implant hard and soft tissue dimensional changes following immediate implant placement with the socket shield technique and immediate restoration versus early type II implant placement with contour graft in the esthetic zone. The primary outcome is the Pink Esthetic Score (PES), while secondary outcomes include mid-facial mucosal recession, radiographic vertical and horizontal buccal bone remodeling, and patient satisfaction after 12 months.

Conditions
Interventions
Socket Shield
mmediate implant placement following partial extraction therapy using the socket shield technique. After decoronation and preparation of the buccal root fragment, the implant osteotomy will be created palatal to the retained root fragment to achieve correct prosthetic positioning. The gap between the implant and the root fragment will be filled with deproteinized bovine bone mineral, and an immediate provisional restoration will be placed using a PMMA temporary crown. Final implant-supported restoration will be delivered after approximately 3 months
Early Implant Placement
atraumatic extraction of the non-restorable tooth followed by early type II implant placement after a healing period of approximately 4-8 weeks. During implant surgery, a full-thickness flap will be elevated and the implant will be placed in the ideal prosthetic position. Contour augmentation will be performed using autogenous bone chips and deproteinized bovine bone mineral particles, which will be covered with a collagen membrane. After approximately 3 months of healing, the implant will be restored with a definitive implant-supported prosthetic restoration
