The Effect of Bone Grafts on Facial Gingival Profile in Maxillary Anterior Single Tooth Replacement

The Effect of Bone and Connective Tissue Grafts on Facial Gingival Profile in Single Maxillary Anterior Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization: A 1-Year Prospective Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 30 (actual)
• Sponsor: Loma Linda University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to evaluate the facial gingival profile following immediate implant placement and provisionalization in conjunction with connective tissue graft with or without bone graft

Detailed description

Thirty subjects who are at least 18 years old with a failing upper front tooth seeking for implant treatment will be recruited at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry (LLUSD), where the consent will also take place. The subjects will be randomly divided into 3 groups. The subjects will receive immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) in conjunction with connective tissue graft (CTG) with (Group I) or without (Group II) bone graft in the extraction socket; and with bone graft in extraction socket and at the facial aspect of failing tooth (Group III). Clinical, radiographic and model assessments will be performed at different time intervals (pre-treatment to 12 months after implant placement) and statistically analyzed (α = 0.05) to evaluate peri-implant tissue response and facial gingival profile of the implants. Complications, if any, will also be recorded and appropriately addressed.
