Digital Assessment at Peri-implant Tissues After Immediate Implants With Customized Healing Abutments and Connective Tissue Grafts

Portugal32 participantsStarted 2021-10-01

Plain-language summary

After a single-tooth extraction, physiological remodeling processes are unavoidable which leads to a total loss of the periodontal ligament and resorption of the bundle bone. Immediate implant placement associated with bone substitutes and customized healing abutments seems to reduce the amount of resorption at peri-implant areas. Recently, studies evaluating the use of a connective tissue grafts are being conducted in order to assess possible final outcome advantages in immediate implant procedures. This study aims to evaluate peri-implant tissue dimensional changes after the use of a customized healing abutment with or without connective tissue graft in flapless maxillary immediate implant placement.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\) ≥18 years of age; 2) patients who had a failing tooth and needed an implant placing therapy in the aesthetic zone (between 15-25); 3) the failing tooth has adjacent and opposing natural teeth; 4) sufficient mesial-distal and inter-occlusal space for placement of the implant and definitive restoration; 5) had an intact socket wall previously to the extraction; 6) had sufficient apical bone to place an immediate implant with minimum primary stability of 30 N/cm. Exclusion Criteria: * individuals diagnosed with periodontal disease; medical and general contraindications for the surgical procedure; heavy smokers (\> 10 cigarettes/day); an active infection at the implant site.

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?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

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?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
