Summary

Implants placed immediately after tooth extraction usually present challenges in obtaining soft tissue coverage with high risk of bacterial invasion, wound dehiscence and subsequently adverse effect on the success rate of the implant due to lack of primary soft tissue closure over the implant. Different surgical methods have been described to achieve primary soft tissue closure in maxillary fresh socket, each having its advantages and disadvantages, based on that, buccal pad of fat can solve this soft tissue coverage problem with minimal complications and high success rate of the placed implants.The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of buccal pad of fat tissue with immediate implant placement in the posterior maxillary area.

Detailed description

Ten patients will be selected randomly from the outpatient clinic, Alexandria University seeking for an immediate implant placement. The sample will be selected to match the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It will be operated upon in the Oral and Maxillofacial Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University. One stage surgery will include tooth extraction, placement of an immediate implant, bone grafting material and autologous soft tissue graft from the buccal pad of fat. Patients will be assessed clinically and radiographically to evaluate bone and soft tissue measurements.
