Alveolar Ridge Changes Post Tooth Extraction With Socket Shield Without Immediate Implant Placement"

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Alveolar Ridge Resorption After Extraction

• Registration Number: NCT06658860
• Lead Sponsor: Soaad Tolba Mohammed Tolba Badawi

Brief Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction using the socket shield technique without immediate implant placement. The changes using CBCT were assessed, focusing on the preservation of the ridge for delayed implant placement. This research could help improve dental implant outcomes by preserving bone and soft tissue structures."

Detailed Description

"In this clinical trial, the dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction were investigated using the socket shield technique. The socket shield technique involved partial retention of the root structure to preserve the surrounding bone and soft tissues. No immediate implant placement was performed, and the ridge changes were assessed at multiple time points through CBCT scans. The study included a specified sample size, and participants underwent a follow-up of 6 months after socket shield preparation. This research aimed to provide insights into how well the socket shield technique preserves ridge dimensions over time, potentially optimizing future implant stability."

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Alveolar Ridge Width Changes	6 months post-extraction	This outcome measure assesses changes in the alveolar ridge width following tooth extraction using either the modified socket shield technique or conventional extraction. Measurements were obtained through CBCT imaging at baseline and 6 months post-extraction. Unit of Measure: Millimeters (mm)
Bone Plate Height Changes	6 months post-extraction	This outcome measure assesses changes in the bone plate height following tooth extraction using either the modified socket shield technique or conventional extraction. Measurements were obtained through CBCT imaging at baseline and 6 months post-extraction. Unit of Measure: Millimeters (mm)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary Implant Stability	At the time of implant placement, typically 6 months post-extraction.	This outcome measure assessed the primary stability of dental implants placed after using either the socket shield technique or conventional extraction. Implant stability was evaluated using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) at the time of implant placement."
