Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Marginal Bone Loss Following Flapless Guided Versus Conventional Implant Placement

Sponsor: Gulf Medical University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Marginal bone preservation is an important determinant of long-term implant success. Conventional flap implant placement provides direct visualization of the surgical site but may disturb the periosteal blood supply and contribute to early crestal bone remodeling. Flapless guided implant placement is a minimally invasive approach that aims to preserve soft tissue architecture and vascular integrity. CBCT allows three-dimensional evaluation of peri implant bone levels, including mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual aspects. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare flapless guided implant placement with conventional flap implant placement in terms of marginal bone loss, implant stability, postoperative pain, and soft-tissue healing.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Conventional Flap Implant Placement

manually raising the gingival tissue during dental implant surgery, this surgical procedure involves the placement of a dental implant directly into the alveolar or basal bone during a single session followed by the placement of a healing abutment without the use of surgical guides or advanced technology.

PROCEDURE

Flapless guided implant

a minimally invasive dental implant procedure where a surgical guide, often created using advanced imaging techniques like cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computer-aided design (CAD), directs the precise placement of dental implants without the need for traditional flap elevation.
