Artificial Intelligence Assisted Socket Shield With Computer Guided Implant Placement

May 8, 2026 updated by: Walid Elamrousy, Kafrelsheikh University

Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Computer Guided Immediate Implant Placement Utilizing Artificial Intelligence Assisted Socket Shield Approach: Randomized Clinical Trial

Aim of the current randomized clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of computer-guided immediate implant placement performed simultaneously with artificial intelligence assisted socket shield technique versus conventional approach.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Guided implant surgery was used in dental implant surgery to achieve accuracy and an overall predictability. Successful guided implant workflow depends on 3-dimensional image acquisition and precise model fabrication.

Artificial intelligence application in implant dentistry has ushered in a new era of precision and efficiency demonstrating improved implant survival rates and patient satisfaction and enhance the integration of technologies with digital workflows.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: control group
conventional socket shield with conventional simultaneous implant placement
Immediate Implant Placement Using Socket Shield Technique with autogenous whole tooth graft after immediate implantation using Socket Shield Technique, the palatal root portion and the decoronated crown will be converted to autogenous whole tooth graft and used for grafting the defect between the socket shield and the implant fixture
Other Names:
  • Elamrousy Novel Approach of Socket Shield Technique
Experimental: study group
computer guided implant placement combined with artificial intelligence-assisted socket shield.

The patient specific guides will be placed at the pre-planned positions at the labial buccal mucosa.

using artificial intelligence the socket shield approach will be planned to keep the buccal shield and using surgical guide the shield will be preciesly prepared followed by guided implant placement and whole tooth grafting of the jumping gap

Other Names:
  • AI/guided Elamrousy Novel Approach of Socket Shield Technique

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Midfacial Mucosal Alterations
Time Frame: 24-month.
digital intraoral scans were recorded. To quantify the vertical changes in the soft tissues around implants buccally, the collected scans were digitally superimposed via matching Gom inspect software
24-month.
Stability Quotient of dental implant
Time Frame: 24-month.
Osstell TM was used to record the primary stability.ISQ, or Implant Stability Quotient, is a scale from 1 to 100 and is a measure of the stability of an implant. The ISQ scale has a non-linear correlation to micro mobility. With more than 1400 scientific references, investigators now know that high stability means >70 ISQ, between 60-69 is medium stability and < 60 ISQ is considered as low stability
24-month.
pink esthetic score
Time Frame: 24-month.
The pink esthetic score (PES) evaluates the esthetic outcome of soft tissue around implant-supported single crowns in the anterior zone by awarding seven points for the mesial and distal papilla, soft-tissue level, soft-tissue contour, soft-tissue color, soft-tissue texture, and alveolar process deficiency.Using a 0-1-2 scoring system, 0 being the lowest, 2 being the highest value, the maximum achievable PES was 14
24-month.
facial marginal bone level
Time Frame: 24-month
Utilizing CBCT sagittal sections, the BMBL was evaluated by computerized analysis. Navigation was done on the multiplanar display until the implant's precise same-view location was established on the reformatted cross-sectional section and panoramic view.
24-month
