Flap Vs Flapless Technique for Delayed Implant Placement in the Maxillary Esthetic Zone
Sponsor: Suez Canal University
Summary
This randomized comparative clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and esthetic outcomes of flap versus flapless techniques for delayed dental implant placement in the maxillary esthetic zone. Sixteen patients requiring implant placement in the maxillary anterior or premolar region will be randomly allocated into two equal groups. Group I will undergo implant placement using the conventional flap technique, while Group II will receive implant placement using the flapless technique. Clinical outcomes including postoperative pain, edema, surgical insertion time, and implant stability will be assessed. Radiographic evaluation will include peri-implant bone quantity, bone quality, and crestal bone loss. Follow-up examinations will be performed immediately after surgery and at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively.
