Assessment of Labial Plate Thickness After Immediate Implant Placement Using Two Different Xenografts in the Esthetic Zone

March 4, 2026 updated by: Basma Gamal Mohamed Ahmed

Assessment of Labial Plate Thickness After Immediate Implant Placement in Type II Extraction Sockets Using Two Different Xenografts in the Esthetic Zone: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate labial bone plate changes following immediate implant placement in Type II extraction sockets using two different xenograft materials and de-epithelialized free gingival graft in the esthetic zone . Patients requiring extraction and immediate implant placement will be randomly allocated into two groups according to the xenograft material used for defect grafting. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed to determine dimensional bone changes and implant success

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone has become a predictable treatment modality aiming to reduce treatment time while preserving alveolar bone and soft tissue architecture. However, dimensional alterations of the labial bone plate remain a clinical concern, particularly in Type II extraction sockets.

The present randomized controlled clinical trial will compare the effect of two different xenograft materials and de-epithelialized free gingival graft used for defect grafting during immediate implant placement. Eligible patients indicated for tooth extraction and immediate implant placement will be randomly assigned into two parallel groups based on the grafting material used.

Clinical evaluation and standardized radiographic assessment using CBCT will be performed to measure labial plate thickness changes, peri-implant bone stability, and implant success outcomes over a defined follow-up period. The findings of this study aim to provide clinical evidence regarding the most effective xenograft material for preserving peri-implant hard tissue contours in the esthetic zone

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Labial Bone Plate Thickness Change
Time Frame: 6 months post-implant placement
Dimensional changes of the labial alveolar bone plate will be measured using standardized CBCT images to assess the effectiveness of the two xenograft materials in preserving bone contour
6 months post-implant placement

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peri-implant mucosal level (PML)
Time Frame: 6 months post-implant placement
Intraoral scanning will be performed preoperative, immediate postoperative (baseline) and six months postoperatively. The 3D software will be used to align the baseline and six month models using the best-fit algorithm of the software to perfect the superimposition process. The superimposed models will be assessed using specific software, where the measurements will be performed to compare soft tissue outcomes between the two xenograft materials
6 months post-implant placement

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical assessment of Pink Esthetic score
Time Frame: 6 months post-implant placement
Seven variables will be scored: mesial papilla, distal papilla, to curvature of the facial mucosa, level of the facial mucosa and soft tissue color, and texture of facial gingiva at the implant site. A score of 0, 1, or 2 will be given to each parameter obtain a final score of 14 minimum score 0,maximum score 14 higher score means better
6 months post-implant placement

IPD Plan Description

This study is a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate labial bone plate preservation following immediate implant placement in Type II extraction sockets using two different xenograft materials in the esthetic zone. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups based on the xenograft material used for gap grafting. Clinical and radiographic assessments will be conducted to monitor dimensional changes of the labial bone plate, peri-implant tissue health, and implant success over a six-month follow-up period. All procedures will be performed under standard clinical protocols at the Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University
