Reduced Time Interval for Implant Placement After Extraction Socket Preservation Using the Vega Plus Implants

Sponsor: Universidad Catolica Santiago de Guayaquil

Summary

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate whether reducing the healing interval for implant placement after extraction socket preservation improves clinical and radiographic outcomes compared with the conventional waiting period. Participants requiring single-tooth extraction and implant therapy will be randomly assigned to implant placement either 4 months or 6 months after ridge preservation using the Vega Plus implant system (Klockner). Clinical and radiographic assessments will be performed at baseline and during follow-up visits. The primary outcome will be the mean change in horizontal alveolar ridge width measured using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Secondary outcomes will include vertical bone height changes measured on CBCT, implant stability measured using resonance frequency analysis (ISQ values), marginal bone level changes assessed on standardized periapical radiographs, and postoperative pain assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The results of this study may contribute to optimizing treatment timing and improving efficiency in implant dentistry while maintaining favorable clinical outcomes.
