Study Summary

This trial looked at whether it's possible to place an implant in a severely damaged socket, and whether that implant looks as good as one placed in an intact socket.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 20 or older who need single dental implants due to tooth loss. Candidates should not have uncontrolled diseases, severe periodontitis, be heavy smokers, or take medication affecting bone metabolism. They must have good oral hygiene and be motivated.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of immediate dental implant placement in two scenarios: one where severely damaged sockets are reconstructed with a bone shield during implantation, and another where intact sockets receive an implant without reconstruction.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for this procedure, common risks may include infection at the implant site, injury or damage to surrounding structures such as teeth or blood vessels, nerve damage which can cause pain or numbness, sinus problems when upper jaw implants protrude into sinus cavities.

What ultimate outcomes is this research endeavor aiming to accomplish?

"This 12-month clinical trial seeks to assess the feasibility and success rate of implant placement. Secondary objectives involve assessing facial mucosal transparency, determining the presence or absence of a band of keratinized tissue, and measuring how many participants experienced more than 0.2mm marginal bone loss."
