About this study

In patients with labial plate dehiscence in the esthetic zone, there is no difference between the use of Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration Versus Ice Cream Cone technique in conjunction with immediate implant placement in enhancing the amount of bone labial to the implant

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Non-restorable teeth in the esthetic zone with a defect of labial bone.
  • Teeth with no acute inflammation.
  • Patients are free from any systemic condition that may affect the healing.
  • Availability of bone apical and palatal to the socket to provide primary stability
  • Good oral health.
  • Willingness to sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Heavy smoker (> 10 cigarettes/day)

  • Pregnant females
  • Contraindication for Implant surgery.
  • Patients with poor oral hygiene.
  • Acute inflammation in the site of implantation and adjacent tissue.
  • A history of radiotherapy in the head or neck region.
  • Patients with systemic diseases like uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, coagulation disorders, alcohol or drug abuse not suitable for implantation

Treatment and study plan

Immediate dentoalveolar restoration

Procedure

Topical anesthesia will be administered using an infiltration technique. • Atraumatic extraction will be done with the aid of periotome and Luxators. • The extraction socket will be debrided to remove any residual debris or granulation tissue. •. Socket walls will be checked using a periodontal probe to ensure integrity of all sockets walls except the labial bone plate which must show a dehiscence.

  • Implant placement will be done according to manufactures' instructions; drills will be used sequentially in a more palatal direction leaving a buccal jumping gap of at least 2mm. All implants will engage at least 3 mm apical to the apical end of the socket with adequate primary stability

Ice cream cone technique

Socket walls will be checked using a periodontal probe to ensure integrity of all sockets walls except the labial bone plate which must show a dehiscence.

  • Implant placement will be done according to manufactures' instructions; drills will be used sequentially in a more palatal direction leaving a buccal jumping gap of at least 2mm. All implants will engage at least 3 mm apical to the apical end of the socket with adequate primary stability

Primary outcomes

  1. Bucco/facial-palatal ridge thickness

    Time frame: 1 year

    Impressions were taken with addition silicone before tooth extraction, after six months of implant placement (immediately after the placement of the definite crown) and 12 months after crown installation. Casts were then obtained with special gypsum stone type IV.Casts were measured by a dentist not involved in the study with a digital caliper. Three reference points were measured from the free gingival margin to the apex at the implant site and in the contralateral tooth: 0 mm, 3 mm and 6 mm

Secondary outcomes

  1. Radiographic bucco-palatal bone changes

    Time frame: 1 year

    The bucco-palatal width of the alveolar bone will be measured perpendicular to the long axis of the alveolar bone; the 3 measurements will be the coronal width (CW), middle width (MW), and apical width (AW). Each measurement will be recorded at different times

  2. 3. Radiographic width of bone labial to the implant

    Time frame: 1 year

    Amount of bone labial to the implant will be measured perpendicular to the vertical line of the implant surface at the implant neck level or the top of the buccal bone (which is regarded as 0 mm), 3 mm and 6 mm apical to the implant neck Each measurement will be recorded at different times (at day 0 after finishing the procedure, 6 and 12 months post-operatively)

  3. Radiographic vertical bone changes

    Time frame: 1 year

    Vertical bone height will be measured. Measurement will be taken at highest point of the remaining labial/buccal plate of bone using the implant neck as a reference point. Each measurement will be recorded at different times and the difference between pre and post-operative measurements will be determined as the gain in labial/buccal vertical bone dimension

  4. Esthetic evaluation (The pink esthetic score)

    Time frame: 1 year

    The pink esthetic score will be calculated on the parameters defined by (Fürhauser et al. 2005). Clinical photographs will be taken to evaluate peri-implant soft tissue through evaluating seven variables compared to a natural reference tooth including: mesial papilla, distal papilla, soft-tissue level, soft-tissue contour, alveolar process deficiency, soft- tissue color and texture. Using a 0-1-2 scoring system, 0 being the lowest, 2 being the highest value. The maximum achievable PES is 14.

  5. Implant stability

    Time frame: 6 months

    implant stability will be measured using Ostell which has a scale ranges from 1 to 100, the higher the ISQ the more stability

  6. Gingival Thickness

    Time frame: 1 year

    Gingival thickness will be evaluated 2 mm below the gingival margin with a short needle for and silicon disk stop. The needle will be inserted perpendicular to the mucosal surface, through the soft tissues with light pressure until a hard surface was reached. The silicone disc stop was then mounted in close contact with the gingival tissue surface. The insertion depth was assessed with a digital caliper accurate to the nearest 0.1 mm

  7. Width of the Keratinized Tissue

    Time frame: 1 year

    It will be evaluated from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction (MGJ). The MGJ was assessed with roll technique

  8. Midfacial recession

    Time frame: 1 year

    Corono-apical distance between the peri-implant soft tissue margin and the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) of the homologous contralateral tooth

  9. Post-Operative Pain

    Time frame: 7 days

    Pain will be assessed post-surgically using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with numbers from 0 to 10 score zero represented no pain while score 10 represented the worst pain imaginable

  10. Post-Operative patient's Satisfaction

    Time frame: 1 year

    Three Yes or No Questions will be asked to the patient about his overall satisfaction about the procedure

  11. Post-operative swelling

    Time frame: 7 days

    Swelling will be assessed post-surgically using the Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) (García et al. 2008):

    • Absent (no swelling),
    • Slight (intraoral swelling at the operated area),
    • Moderate (moderate intraoral swelling at the operated area) and
    • Intense (intensive extraoral swelling extending beyond the operated area)
