Soft Tissue Volume Changes After Immediate Implants With Two Different Techniques
Spain20 participantsStarted 2021-03-01
Plain-language summary
The aim is to comparatively evaluate the soft tissue volume changes that occur after tooth extraction and immediate dental implant placement using two different surgical techniques.
These techniques are: the Socket-Shield technique and conventional immediate placement.
The null hypothesis is that the Socket-Shield technique better maintains soft tissue volume after partial tooth extraction and immediate implant placement compared to the conventional technique.
From a sample of 20 patients, they will be divided into groups of 10 and will be randomized using the random.org program.
The soft tissue volume will be digitally recorded by intraoral scanning before tooth extraction and 6 months later.
The soft tissue dimensional changes produced will be digitally evaluated and statistically analyzed.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients requiring single tooth extraction in lateral or anterior areas of the upper jaw.
* Teeth that do not present alteration or loss of the vestibular bone table.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients in whom surgical intervention is contraindicated.
* Teeth with alteration or loss of the vestibular bone table.
* Teeth with marginal recession \>2mm.
* Early or delayed failure of the implant placed with any of the three techniques.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
