What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
socket-plug technique with putty boneProcedure or surgery
- Atraumatic extractions after careful surgical preparation of the soft and hard tissues using periotomes sulcular incision may be done with the aid of number 15c scalpel to dissect the crestal fibers and avoid trauma to soft tissue, care should be taken not to raise the flap.
- Careful curettage and debridement of the socket is performed with hand instruments to remove granulation tissue.
- The socket walls are then inspected for the presence of buccal defects.
- putty bone is injected into the socket up to the crest of the bone.
- Collagen plug or sponge is adapted over the graft to occlude the socket
- The plug is then stabilized with absorbable suture material.
Ice cream cone techniqueProcedure or surgery
- Atraumatic extractions after careful surgical preparation of the soft and hard tissues using periotomes sulcular incision may be done with the aid of number 15c scalpel to dissect the crestal fibers and avoid trauma to soft tissue, care should be taken not to raise the flap.
- Careful curettage and debridement of the socket is performed with hand instruments to remove granulation tissue.
- The socket walls are then inspected for the presence of buccal defects.
- A Collagen barrier membrane is then shaped as an ice-cream cone and placed in the extraction socket lining the buccal tissues.
- The socket is then filled with particulate bone graft.
- The upper part of the membrane is then used to cover the socket.
- Absorbable suture is then used to close the socket and stabilize the barrier membrane

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quantitative volumetric changes
Bone volumetric changes will be measured in millimeter by super-imposition of 3D scans using volume analysis software.
Measured: day 0 - month 6
Secondary outcomes (2)
Horizontal alveolar ridge width
Buccolingual alveolar ridge width will be measured in millimeter 1, 3, 5 mm bellow alveolar crest in both groups.
Measured: day 0 - month 6
Vertical alveolar ridge height
Vertical alveolar ridge height will be measured in millimeter from the end of the socket to the alveolar crest in both groups.
Measured: day 0 - month 6

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing socket-plug technique with putty bone and Ice cream cone technique in people with Socket Preservation, run by Cairo University.
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 10 inclusion and 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2025. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Abdelrahman Medhat (01117909725, abdelrahman.medhat@dentistry.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Quantitative volumetric changes (time frame: day 0 - month 6). 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 23 Sep 2025.
