About this study

Official title: Maxillary Anterior Immediate Tooth Replacement With and Without Socket-shield: a One Year Prospective Study

The purpose of this clinical controlled study is to compare anterior facial gingival level change between Immediate implant placement and provisionalization with bone graft and with socket shield technique.

Read the detailed description

Immediate implant placement and provisionalization, short for IIPP, is one of a very viable option for failing anterior teeth. It has been advocated with documented success for more than 20 years. Despite the decent results, the challenges remains on the altered of the facial implant tissue architecture. To avoid the facial contour change and the possible following esthetic problem, clinicians have tried several ways to preserve the contour, like bone grafting in the gap between the facial bone and implant, or enhance facial gingival tissue thickness through augmentation procedures.

The concept of retaining part of the root, or root shield in conjunction with IIPP was proposed around 8 to 9 years ago. So-called socket shield technique. It has claimed to have successfully preserve the facial contour. Animal studies and couple clinical studies have showed decent results.

The purpose of this clinical controlled study is to compare the facial gingival level change between IIPP with bone graft and with socket shield technique. There are two groups in this study, 13 patients each. Extrusion criteria including male under 21 years old, female under 23 years old, smoker, pregnant patient, history of head and neck radiation, soft tissue defect like inflammation, recession, active infection. On the control group, patient will received IIPP with bone graft; On the test group, IIPP and socket shield technique will be provided. All clinical examinations and data collections will be performed by one investorgator, who will do the measurement at presurgical appointment, Tps, the time of implant placement, Tm0, 6-months Tm6, and 12-months after implant placement Tm12. Data analysis will be blind. Intraexaminer reliability will be performed.

We are looking at 12 elements in this study. The main variable will be facial gingival level change. We will use Intraoral scanner and the 3D images obtained at different time point will be superimposed, to see if there is any significant change between two groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Immediate implant placement and provisionalizationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Socket shield technique

    Failing tooth will be extracted and immediate placed endosseous implant

Study groups in NCT04060784
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Immediate implant placement and provisionalizationExperimentalOn the control group, Implant will be placed immediately after tooth extraction. The gap between the implant and buccal bone will be filled with bone graft. Temporary crown will be attached to implant fixture.
Receives: Procedure: Immediate implant placement and provisionalization
Socket shield techniqueExperimentalOn the test group, Implant will be placed immediately after tooth extraction. A piece of root shield will be retained intentionally at facial side. Temporary crown will attached to implant fixture.
Receives: Procedure: Immediate implant placement and provisionalization

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Facial gingival level change

    The baseline measurement will be compared with digital superimposition of intraoral scanned images at 12 months post-op

    Measured: At baseline (pre-op) and at 12 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Soft tissue volume change

    The baseline measurement will be compared with digital superimposition of intraoral scanned images at 12 months post-op

    Measured: At baseline (pre-op) and 12 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Immediate implant placement and provisionalization in people with Anterior Teeth, run by Loma Linda University at 2 sites in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 17 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Facial gingival level change (time frame: At baseline (pre-op) and at 12 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Nov 2024.
