The Vestibular Socket Therapy : A Novel Concept for Immediate Implant Placement in Defective Fresh Extraction Sites

September 24, 2019 updated by: Nourhan M.Aly
This article aims to provide a non- staged treatment protocol to placing dental implants in compromised fresh sockets in the aesthetic zone.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Conditions

Detailed Description

This is a site-specific therapy uses study a slowly resorbing regenerative barrier (shield) to augment any thin or deficient labial plate of bone, enhances the overlying soft tissue quality and quantity at the same time with implant fixture placement using a computer-guided surgical template.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: xenograft cortical flexible sheet
a-traumatic tooth removal , socket lavage and curettage, performing a vestibular access horizontal incision corresponding to the socket 3-4 mm apically from the muccogingival junction , a tunnel is then created from the socket office and extended apically till it connects with the vestibular access incision, a computer guided surgical template is then used to deliver the implant in its optimal position, a slowly resorbable membrane shield is then introduced through the tunnel and stabilized with a membrane tac , it is a sturdy fixable membrane barrier placed above the labial plate
a slowly resorbable membrane shield is placed above the labial plate of bone so that when the thin labial plate started its resorption process the shield remains till a complete gap fill occurred thus leading to a thicker labial plate of bone or it preserves the socket architecture until a complete bone fill occurred inside the socket
Other Names:
  • osteoflex

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
radiographic buccal bone thickness
Time Frame: 6 months
preoperative and follow up CBCTs are superimposed on each other and buccal bone thickness is measure at 3 similar points on both CBCTs and then a mean is calculated
6 months
radiographic buccal bone height
Time Frame: 6 months
preoperative and follow up CBCTs are superimposed on each other and buccal bone height is measured in relation to implant shoulder level
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
final esthetic outcome of soft tissue
Time Frame: 6 months
Pink esthetic score. based on subjective assessment of mesial papilla, distal papilla, midfacial level, midfacial contour, alveolar process deficiency, soft tissue color and texture. each item is given a score between 0 and 2, where 0 is the worst and 2 is the best outcome. Then, a final score ranging between 0-14 is calculated
6 months
