Study groups in NCT02992366
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
socket shield (A)Experimental1. Following local anesthetic infiltration opposite to the root to be extracted the root is sectioned in a mesiodistal direction along its long axis as far apical as possible. 2. After sectioning the root into labial and palatal halves, the palatal half is removed with preservation of the labial root section. 3. The labial half is prepared to be Flushing or 1mm above the labial alveolar crest. Then thinned slightly to a concave contour in an apico-coronal and mesiodistal direction. 4. The implant will be inserted in place of the palatal half with the labial surface of the implant facing the labial root shield (root-implant interface) primary closure will not be attempted as the patients will undergo immediate non-functioning provisionization.
Receives: Procedure: implant placement
conventional immediate implant (B)Active comparator1. Following local anesthetic infiltration opposite to the root to be extracted non traumatic extraction of the tooth or remaining root by periotome. 2. The implant fixture will be inserted in the empty socket by conventional manner. primary closure will not be attempted as the patients will undergo immediate non-functioning provisionization.
Receives: Procedure: implant placement

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ahmed G. Khater, Bsc (+201111717300, drahmedgamalkhater@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vertical and horizontal bone level (time frame: 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02992366, which also lists 26 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Dec 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
