Peri-implant Tissue Changes Using Dual Zone Concept with Connective Tissue Graft Versus Concentrated Growth Factor

Egypt34 participantsStarted 2025-01-15

Plain-language summary

Tooth extraction not only alters the bony architecture of the alveolar ridge, but it also has an impact on the surrounding soft tissues. Post-extraction recovery of both hard and soft tissues occurs uneventfully, resulting in horizontal and vertical tissue loss, affecting prosthetic rehabilitation with dental implants or tooth-supported prosthesis. Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to evaluate volumetric soft tissue alterations as well as clinical, radiographic, and esthetic outcomes in dual zone technique (DZ) using CTG (Connective Tissue Graft) versus CGF (Concentrated Growth Factor) Graft following maxillary IIP (Immediate Implant Placement) in the esthetic zone. Materials and methods: 20 patients with hopeless teeth requiring extraction in maxillary esthetic zone and requiring replacement with dental implants, will be enrolled and recruited from the outpatient clinic, faculty of dentistry, Ain Shams University according to the inclusion criteria. They will be randomly allocated into two equal groups. Group I (n=17) immediate implant placement with dual zone technique using concentrated growth factor graft and group II (n=17) immediate implant placement with dual zone technique using connective tissue graft. Pink esthetic score (PES) was measured 6 months after the final crown placement. At the respective times radiographic CBCT measurements, volumetric analysis, and clinical measurements will be taken. Postoperative medication will be prescribed to the patient and postoperative instructions will be explained in detail. Follow-up will be performed. Data collected will be tabulated and statistically analyzed.

Inclusion Criteria: * Systemically (medically) free individuals were recruited for the present study according to the modified Burkett's health history questionnaire, ASA. * Males and females with age range 20 - 50. * Patients having a history of hopeless tooth in esthetic zone (Anteriors/Premolars) indicated for extraction and immediate implant placement. * Patients who are cooperative and maintain proper oral hygiene. * Intact interproximal and palatal bone extending at least 6 mm apically, with sufficient apical bone to attain implant primary stability (a minimum of 35 Ncm insertion torque). Exclusion Criteria: * Heavy smokers. 20 * Patients who exhibit parafunctional occlusal habits 21 * Pregnant ladies or lactating mothers.

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.
