Brief Summary

Evaluation of hard and soft tissue changes following vestibular socket preservation versus ice cream cone technique for management of defective fresh extraction sockets in the esthetic zone.

Detailed Description

The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to assess the volumetric and radiographic ridge contour changes following alveolar ridge preservation using Vestibular socket preservation in patient with type II fresh extraction sockets, versus ice cream cone technique.

In patients needing extraction in anterior maxilla with type II sockets, there will be no difference between the Vestibular socket preservation and ice cream cone technique regarding the changes in alveolar ridge contour.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Linear buccal distance (mm)6 months

Soft tissue linear buccal distance will be measured using 3D scans via intaoral digital scanner at baseline, 3 months and 6 months using 3D software (NemoSmile Design 3D, Nemotec, Madrid, Spain) and STL viewer (3Shape Ortho viewer, 3Shape, Denmark)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Labiopalatal volumetric ridge contour analysis (mm)6 months

Labiopalatal volumetric ridge contour analysis will be measured using 3D scans via intaoral digital scanner at baseline, 3 months and 6 months using 3D software (NemoSmile Design 3D, Nemotec, Madrid, Spain) and STL viewer (3Shape Ortho viewer, 3Shape, Denmark) and scans will be superimposed on each other.

Changes in the height of the socket buccal and palatal ridges (mm)6 months

Radiographic assessment using Cone Beam Computed Tomography to assess the labiopalatal alveolar ridge width reduction and changes in the height of the socket buccal and lingual ridges. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) (Carestream Health, CS 8100 3D System) will be performed preoperative, baseline and 6 months postoperative.

Patient satisfaction (Yes/No)2 weeks

Patient satisfaction will be evaluated using questionnaires during the 2 weeks after ARP.

Pain (1-10)2 weeks

The severity of subjective pain and swelling will be evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) score (score range = 0-10, with 0 reflecting no pain and swelling), and durations of pain and swelling will be investigated during the 2 weeks after ARP
