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

NCT07177521 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

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

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.
