About this study
Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Computer Guided Immediate Implant Placement Utilizing Artificial Intelligence Assisted Socket Shield Approach: Randomized Clinical Trial
Aim of the current randomized clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of computer-guided immediate implant placement performed simultaneously with artificial intelligence assisted socket shield technique versus conventional approach.
Read the detailed description
Guided implant surgery was used in dental implant surgery to achieve accuracy and an overall predictability. Successful guided implant workflow depends on 3-dimensional image acquisition and precise model fabrication.
Artificial intelligence application in implant dentistry has ushered in a new era of precision and efficiency demonstrating improved implant survival rates and patient satisfaction and enhance the integration of technologies with digital workflows.
- Conditions
- Implant Complication, Dental Implant Failed
- Being tested
- free-hand socket shield, AI/guided socket shield
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
free-hand socket shieldProcedure or surgery
Also called Elamrousy Novel Approach of Socket Shield Technique
Immediate Implant Placement Using Socket Shield Technique with autogenous whole tooth graft after immediate implantation using Socket Shield Technique, the palatal root portion and the decoronated crown will be converted to autogenous whole tooth graft and used for grafting the defect between the socket shield and the implant fixture
AI/guided socket shieldProcedure or surgery
Also called AI/guided Elamrousy Novel Approach of Socket Shield Technique
The patient specific guides will be placed at the pre-planned positions at the labial buccal mucosa.
using artificial intelligence the socket shield approach will be planned to keep the buccal shield and using surgical guide the shield will be preciesly prepared followed by guided implant placement and whole tooth grafting of the jumping gap
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| control group | Experimental | conventional socket shield with conventional simultaneous implant placement Receives: Procedure: free-hand socket shield |
| study group | Experimental | computer guided implant placement combined with artificial intelligence-assisted socket shield. Receives: Procedure: AI/guided socket shield |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Stability Quotient of dental implant
Osstell TM was used to record the primary stability.ISQ, or Implant Stability Quotient, is a scale from 1 to 100 and is a measure of the stability of an implant. The ISQ scale has a non-linear correlation to micro mobility. With more than 1400 scientific references, investigators now know that high stability means >70 ISQ, between 60-69 is medium stability and < 60 ISQ is considered as low stability
Measured: 24-month.
pink esthetic score
The pink esthetic score (PES) evaluates the esthetic outcome of soft tissue around implant-supported single crowns in the anterior zone by awarding seven points for the mesial and distal papilla, soft-tissue level, soft-tissue contour, soft-tissue color, soft-tissue texture, and alveolar process deficiency.Using a 0-1-2 scoring system, 0 being the lowest, 2 being the highest value, the maximum achievable PES was 14
Measured: 24-month.
Midfacial Mucosal Alterations
digital intraoral scans were recorded. To quantify the vertical changes in the soft tissues around implants buccally, the collected scans were digitally superimposed via matching Gom inspect software
Measured: 24-month.
facial marginal bone level
Utilizing CBCT sagittal sections, the BMBL was evaluated by computerized analysis. Navigation was done on the multiplanar display until the implant's precise same-view location was established on the reformatted cross-sectional section and panoramic view.
Measured: 24-month
