Evaluation of the Magnesium Shield Compared to Dual Zone Grafting Approach in Immediate Implant Site Management

Will (GBR) by application of magnesium membrane with immediate implant will have more volume gain , higher pink esthetic score, and lower visual analogue scale than dual zone grafting technique? Several methods have been suggested for the preservation of post-extraction resorption and promoting an increase in the bone density with immediate implant placement. one of these techniques is the dual zone concept (DZ), atraumatic tooth extraction using peristomes and luxators, implant placement along with the bone grafting material applied to both the bone and tissue zones. The aim of (DZ) is to augment the soft tissue using a bone graft to avoid mucosal recession after implant placement thus keeping the gingival contour providing optimal soft tissue aesthetic. The use of magnesium membrane in combination with inorganic bovine bones will be placed between the membrane and immediate implant. This allows implant placement while simultaneously rehabilitating the entire socket, due to its unique material properties, a magnesium membrane is used to rebuild, support the buccal or oral walls in compromised sockets, and promotes cortical bone growth . Many techniques available for preserving the bone of the socket post-tooth extraction, but in comparison to the current materials and techniques used , magnesium membrane is completely resorbable and does not require second surgery to be removed; it is synthetic and therefore does not need to be sourced from an additional surgical. magnesium membrane is excellent in providing both esthetic and functional outcomes that meet patient expectations. The procedure involves flapless approach in which atraumatic tooth extraction using peristomes and forceps will be performed to preserve the available alveolar bone. The implant site will be prepared, and the implant will be placed palatal and 3-4m.m apical to the free gingival margin (FGM). magnesium membrane will be placed between the soft tissue and thin buccal wall. The edges of the membrane will be shaped and flattened with sculptor to prevent perforation of the soft tissue, and a layer off inorganic bovine bone will be placed between the e buccal wall and implant. Then immediate provisional restoration will be constructed and placed to allow an ideal final crown mimicking the natural emergence profile.

Assessment of Labial Plate Thickness After Immediate Implant Placement Using Two Different Xenografts in the Esthetic Zone

Patients requiring extraction and immediate implant placement will be randomly allocated into two groups according to the xenograft material used for defect grafting. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed to determine dimensional bone changes and implant success

Labial Bone Thickness Around Immediate Implants in the Esthetic Zone Following a Novel Socket Evaluation System

The anterior maxilla is a particularly challenging area for immediate implant placement due to its thin buccal bone walls. These walls are more susceptible to resorption after tooth extraction, which can lead to significant bone loss and inadequate support for an implant. However, Different socket dimension may affect the amount of bone formed labial to the implant, regardless of the garfting procedure.

"Osseodensification Efficacy on Molar Septum Expansion in Immediate Molar Implant Placement

The ideal positioning of immediate implants in molar extraction sockets often requires the osteotomy to be in the interradicular septum, which can be challenging in some cases, with traditional site preparation techniques. Also, the alveolar ridge undergoes various remodeling processes following tooth extraction, resulting in hard and soft tissue loss which complicates prosthodontic rehabilitation. Immediate implant placement help preserve the alveolar ridge dimensions and buccal ridge contour. While osseodensification has shown promise in enhancing primary stability and bone microarchitecture, its clinical and microstructural effects in molar extraction sockets remain underexplored. Although there is ample documentation of information on the temperature that is generated during preparation of implant sites, there are no studies available in the literature comparing conventional drilling and osseodensification techniques; therefore, the present investigation was aimed at analyzing the efficacy of osseodensification compared to conventional drilling in terms of bone dimensions preservation , changes in bone architecture during implant site preparation and heat generation to define which technique can be safely applied to achieve the necessary implant primary stability without damaging the surrounding bone. Aim of the study: Is to compare the molar septum dimensions using osseodensification expansion versus the conventional drilling protocol and to assess the role of jumping gap grafting in preservation of the alveolar ridge dimensions and buccal ridge contour in addition to Evaluation of the effect of osseodensification on the bony micro-architecture and heat generation

The study will compare implant and crown success over a five-year period, tracking complications, bone changes, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction. Participants must be at least 18 years old and have sufficient bone to allow immediate implant placement. This research will provide important data on the safety and reliability of immediate implants in posterior areas.

Effectiveness of Topical Application of Melatonin On Bone Density and Implant Stability In Immediate Implantation

Dental implants have revolutionized the replacement of missing teeth, offering predictable and long-lasting rehabilitation for both fully and partially edentulous patients. Since Brånemark's landmark work in 1969, which defined osseointegration as "a direct structural and functional connection between ordered living bone and the surface of a load-bearing implant" (Brånemark et al., 1969), implantology has become an integral part of restorative dentistry. Traditionally, implant therapy followed a delayed protocol requiring a healing period of up to six months after extraction to allow complete soft and hard tissue regeneration before implant placement (Adell et al., 1981). This approach was based on the belief that mature bone is essential for achieving osseointegration. However, subsequent research demonstrated that immediate placement of implants into fresh extraction sockets can also lead to successful osseointegration without compromising outcomes (Araujo et al., 2005). Immediate implant placement, defined as placing an implant at the time of tooth extraction, has gained popularity due to its clinical benefits. These include a reduction in surgical sessions, shortened overall treatment time, preservation of the alveolar ridge, especially the buccal plate, and superior soft tissue esthetics (Van Der Weijden et al., 2009). However, these advantages are contingent upon achieving primary implant stability and proper case selection. A biological challenge that often arises in such cases is the presence of a "jumping gap" - a void between the implant surface and the socket wall - which may require the use of bone grafts or regenerative materials to facilitate bone fill and stability. In recent years, research has explored various biologically active molecules and growth factors to enhance bone healing and implant integration, especially in immediate placement protocols. These include bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and platelet-derived growth factors. Among these, melatonin has emerged as a promising agent due to its multifaceted biological activity (Zechner et al., 2003). Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an endogenously produced neurohormone primarily secreted by the pineal gland. While best known for regulating circadian rhythms, melatonin also possesses strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and bone-promoting properties. It enhances osteoblast proliferation, stimulates collagen matrix formation, and inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. These effects make melatonin a potential therapeutic agent for improving bone density and implant stability. Topical application of melatonin at implant sites has shown encouraging results in experimental models, demonstrating improved bone-to-implant contact, accelerated bone regeneration, and enhanced mechanical stability. These findings suggest a potential role for melatonin in immediate implant protocols, where rapid healing and early osseointegration are critical for clinical success. Given the biological potential of melatonin, the present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of topical application of melatonin on bone density and implant stability in immediate implantation cases through a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Immediate Implant Placement Utilizing Vestibular Flap Versus Single Flap Approach With Bone Graft

Due to the evolution of esthetic implant dentistry and tissue regeneration (hard and soft tissue), flap design plays a crucial role in the maintenance and regeneration of the marginal soft tissue and interdental papillae around dental implants.

Peri-implant Tissue Changes Using Dual Zone Concept with Connective Tissue Graft Versus Concentrated Growth Factor

Tooth extraction not only alters the bony architecture of the alveolar ridge, but it also has an impact on the surrounding soft tissues. Post-extraction recovery of both hard and soft tissues occurs uneventfully, resulting in horizontal and vertical tissue loss, affecting prosthetic rehabilitation with dental implants or tooth-supported prosthesis. Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to evaluate volumetric soft tissue alterations as well as clinical, radiographic, and esthetic outcomes in dual zone technique (DZ) using CTG (Connective Tissue Graft) versus CGF (Concentrated Growth Factor) Graft following maxillary IIP (Immediate Implant Placement) in the esthetic zone.
