Immediate Implant Placement: a Clinical and Radiographic Study on Hard and Soft Tissues Retraction at One Year.

Lebanon30 participantsStarted 2021-01-01

Plain-language summary

This project consists of placing dental implants at extraction sites. Bone drilling and implant placement are performed using the flapless method with the use of a surgical guide allowing guided surgery. After implant placement, temporary teeth are immediately made and placed on the implants to guide the gingival contour. Bone and soft tissue retraction at the implanted sites are measured radiographically and digitally using surface scan superimposition over a 12-month period.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Absence of systemic or osseous disease that may impair peri-implant healing * Age ≥ 21 years * Acceptable oral hygiene * Presence of both adjacent teeth * Absence of acute infection in the treated area * Absence of periodontal pockets \> 3mm at the concerned site * Absence of pre-operative defect at the buccal bone wall (dehiscence or fenestration) * Per-operative integrity of the osseous and gingival structures (during tooth extraction) * Light or non-smoker (\<10 cigarettes per day) Exclusion Criteria: * Myocardial infarction within the past 6 months. * Poorly controlled diabetes (HBA1c \> 7.5%). * Coagulation disorders. * Radiotherapy to the head/neck area within the past two years. * Present or past treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates. * Immunocompromised patients. * Psychological or psychiatric problems. * Alcohol or drug abuse. * Poor oral hygiene and motivation (full mouth plaque score \> 30% and/or full mouth bleeding score \> 20%). * Uncontrolled periodontal disease.

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.
