In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare whether immediate implant placement using the socket-shield technique can better preserve bone density, bone level, and peri-implant tissue health compared to conventional immediate implant placement in patients requiring tooth extraction in the maxillary esthetic zone. This study is conducted in systemically healthy adult patients aged 20-60 years who have non-restorable maxillary anterior teeth indicated for immediate implant placement. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does the socket-shield technique result in better peri-implant bone density and bone level preservation compared to the conventional immediate implant technique? Does the socket-shield technique lead to improved clinical peri-implant parameters, including probing depth, bleeding on probing, keratinized tissue width, and soft tissue thickness?

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged between 20 and 60 years of both genders * All participants should be systemically healthy, as assessed using the dental modification of the Cornell Medical Index. * Gingival and periodontal health to be confirmed according to the criteria outlined in the new classification system proposed by Caton et al. (2018). * Presence of non-restorable teeth due to trauma, complicated crowns or root fractures. * Presence of extensive destructive caries making the tooth unsalvageable, particularly in esthetic zones. * Clinical indication for immediate implant placement, especially in cases where minimizing post-extraction bone resorption and soft tissue collapse is critical. * Availability of adequate interocclusal space to accommodate the necessary prosthetic components without occlusal interference. Exclusion Criteria: (for socket-shield technique) * Pregnant female. * Patients with parafunctional habits (e.g., bruxism, clenching). * Smokers. * Teeth with clinical mobility. * Teeth with root fractures extending below the alveolar bone level. * Periodontal ligament space widening. * Signs of internal or external root resorption. * Current or previous periodontal disease
