Immedaite vs Early Implant Placement in Aesthetic Area

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Single Implant; Immediate Implant Treatment; Early Implant Treatment
Interventions
Device: Implant placement
Registration Number
NCT04653025
Lead Sponsor
Vilniaus Implantologijos Centro (VIC) Klinika
Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial, of 50 patients in need of a maxillary anterior implant, was to assess the esthetic outcomes of immediate temporization of immediately placed tapered implants in fresh extraction sockets with soft tissue and bone augmentation as compared to early placed implants with conventional loading. Secondary objectives included the influence of immediate provisionalization on the success rate of tapered implants and crestal bone stability.

Detailed Description

Patients with a failing maxillary anterior tooth were included in this study. After atraumatic extraction, test group patients received an immediate implant with provisional restoration, while patients in the control group received an implant after 6 weeks of healing. After 4 months (test group) and 6 months (control group) definitive restorations were delivered. All patients were followed for 1 year post restoration and pink esthetic score (PES), mid-buccal mucosal level (MBML), crestal bone changes (CBC) and peri-implant soft tissue parameters were recorded at several time points. In addition, patient chair time was recorded.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes of pink aesthetic score (PES) over timeBaseline, 1 year and 5 years after prosthetic delivery

pink esthetic score means evaluation of seven parameters of anterior tooth aesthetics - mesial and distal papila, soft tissue level, contour, texture, color and convexity. Each parameter may be evaluated by score 0,1 or 2, were the score 0 means the worst outcome, 2 - the best. Evaluation will be performed visually using digital photos.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes of marginal bone level (MBL) around implant neckBaseline, 1 year and 5 years after prosthetic delivery

Periapical x-rays will be used to measure crestal bone sability distally and mesially of dental implant using certificated x-ray program after calibration. Measurement will be recorded in millimetres from implant neck to the first bone to implant contact

Recession changes of gingiva of restored tooth on the implantBaseline, 1 year and 5 years after prosthetic delivery

Mid-buccal recession evaluation will be performed using standardised periodontal probe. Measurement of the crown hight will be done in the middle of the tooth from incisal edge to the highest point and recorded in millimetres.
