Primary Stability and Peri-implant Outcomes of Short Implants in Post-extraction Single-tooth Sites

Primary Stability and Peri-implant Outcomes of Short Implants in Post-extraction Single-tooth Sites: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 10 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of Bari Aldo Moro · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The placement of short implants in post-extraction sockets is a valuable option when residual bone height is limited, minimizing morbidity and treatment time. The management of the peri-implant gap and soft tissues may influence primary stability, hard/soft tissue remodeling, and implant success.

Conditions

• Edentulous Jaw
• Tooth Loss
• Toothless Mouth

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Insertion of implants in post-extraction tooth	Two widely used approaches include: 1. Socket grafting with a fully resorbable synthetic biomaterial (β-tricalcium phosphate + calcium sulfate). 2. Socket grafting with a xenograft and a custom Sealing Socket Abutment (SSA) with a concave emergence profile. No randomized controlled trials have yet compared these protocols with integrated outcomes including resonance frequency analysis, peri-implant health indices, radiographic bone level changes, and digital intraoral scanning (IOS)-based morphometric analysis.
