Immediate Implant Placement With Connective Tissue Graft or Socket Shield

Phase 3
Conditions
Tooth Fractures
Interventions
Procedure: Connective tissue graft
Procedure: socket shield technique
Procedure: Immediate implant placement
Registration Number
NCT03594019
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Brief Summary

The present study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of immediate implant placement with connective tissue graft or socket shield. Previous studies have demonstrate the intact buccal bone plate plays an important role in the stability of peri-implant soft tissue around immediately placed implants. However, it remains controverisal whether soft tissue stability could be achieved in immediate implant placement with connective tissue graft or socket shield.

Control GroupConnective tissue graftPatients in the control group will follow the conventional treatment protocol combined with connective tissue graft. Briefly, hopeless tooth will be extracted atraumatically. Implant will be placed in the palatal side and grafting materials will be filled in the buccal gap. Then, connective tissue graft will be harvest from palatal and fixed between bucall mocosa and bucall bone. Healing abutment will placed and collegan sponge will be used to seal the wound. After 4 months, implant impression and crown delivery will be finished.
Test Groupsocket shield techniquePatients in the test group will receive conventional immediate implant placement combined with socket shield technique. Briefly, the hopeless teeth will be splited from mesial and distal, the buccal part will be preseved and the palatal part will extracted. Implant will be placed in the palatal side and grafting materials will be filled in the buccal gap. After 4 months, implant impression and crown delivery will be finished.
