Alveolar Ridge Changes Post Tooth Extraction With Socket Shield Without Immediate Implant Placement"

This study aimed to evaluate the dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction using the socket shield technique without immediate implant placement. The changes using CBCT were assessed, focusing on the preservation of the ridge for delayed implant placement. This research could help improve dental implant outcomes by preserving bone and soft tissue structures."

About this study

"In this clinical trial, the dimensional changes in the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction were investigated using the socket shield technique. The socket shield technique involved partial retention of the root structure to preserve the surrounding bone and soft tissues. No immediate implant placement was performed, and the ridge changes were assessed at multiple time points through CBCT scans. The study included a specified sample size, and participants underwent a follow-up of 6 months after socket shield preparation. This research aimed to provide insights into how well the socket shield technique preserves ridge dimensions over time, potentially optimizing future implant stability."

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Non-restorable teeth in the esthetic region.
  • The buccal periodontal tissues were intact.
  • Maintaining oral hygiene.

Exclusion criteria

  • The usual limitations for oral surgery.
  • Tooth having a vertical fracture of the root on the facial aspect.
  • Tooth having horizontal fracture of the root extending below the level of the bone.
  • Caries on the root segment to be maintained.
  • Mobility of the tooth.
  • Bruxism.

Treatment and study plan

Modified Socket Shield Technique

Procedure

The modified socket shield technique involves partial retention of the buccal aspect of the tooth root during extraction to preserve the surrounding alveolar bone and soft tissue. This technique is used to optimize the condition for delayed implant placement by preventing resorption of the alveolar ridge.

Conventional Tooth Extraction

Procedure

Conventional tooth extraction involves the complete removal of the tooth without the use of the socket shield technique. This arm served as the control group, with alveolar ridge changes observed and compared with those in the experimental arm over time.

Primary outcomes

  1. Alveolar Ridge Width Changes

    Time frame: 6 months post-extraction

    This outcome measure assesses changes in the alveolar ridge width following tooth extraction using either the modified socket shield technique or conventional extraction. Measurements were obtained through CBCT imaging at baseline and 6 months post-extraction. Unit of Measure: Millimeters (mm)

  2. Bone Plate Height Changes

    Time frame: 6 months post-extraction

    This outcome measure assesses changes in the bone plate height following tooth extraction using either the modified socket shield technique or conventional extraction. Measurements were obtained through CBCT imaging at baseline and 6 months post-extraction. Unit of Measure: Millimeters (mm)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Primary Implant Stability

    Time frame: At the time of implant placement, typically 6 months post-extraction.

    This outcome measure assessed the primary stability of dental implants placed after using either the socket shield technique or conventional extraction. Implant stability was evaluated using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) at the time of implant placement."
