Gum Esthetics with Intermediate Screw on Implant

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Requiring replacement of teeth with implant in anterior region of jaw. Volunteers without any systemic disease which could impair wound healing
Registration Number
CTRI/2023/01/048793

Brief Summary

This study, a randomized controlled clinical trial would be conducted to compare and evaluate marginal bone loss and soft tissue conditioning after immediate implant placement with the use of conventional and CAD-CAM custom- made healing abutment fabricated from PEEK.

For the purpose of this study 40 patients are to be selected that require immediate implant placement in fresh extraction socket in the anterior region of jaw (including premolars) provided they sign an informed consent and satisfy the inclusion criteria. These patients will then be randomly divided based on table of random numbers into two groups. The group – A patients will receive conventional healing abutment whereas, Group- B patients will receive custom-made healing abutment. Indices FMBS and FMPS would be recorded prior to the surgical phase and PES to be recorded based on Pre-operative photograph. After the completion of healing period Indices will again be recorded 1 week post prosthesis insertion. FMBS, FMPS alongwith the FIPS would be recorded clinically, whereas; the PES would be recorded from the post- operative photographs.

The scores obtained from baseline data and after 6 months would then be statistically analyzed using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test alongwith one-way ANOVA for intragroup and intergroup comparison.
