Autogenous Soft Tissue Grafts for Primary Closure Over Immediately Placed Dental Implants

The aim of this interventional study is to evaluate the best method to place the autogenous soft tissue grafts for primary closure over immediately-placed dental implants.

- Primary hypothesis, there is no differences between the two techniques of placement.

About this study

The peri-implant mucosa provides protection to the underlying bone via its immune response and protection from apical biofilm migration. An adequate band of attached keratinized mucosa limit early marginal bone loss and improved aesthetic outcomes around implant prostheses. There are several effective socket seal surgery (SSS) techniques to improve the clinical results in the preservation of the alveolar ridge and lessen bone resorption.

Autologous soft tissue grafts still provide the gold standard in gaining keratinized tissue and mucosal thickness compared to autologous substitutes on the market. Simultaneous soft tissue grafts at the time of implant placement can counteract the reduction in ridge width and maintain the ridge architecture regardless of the soft tissue phenotype at the site.

Inclusion criteria

  • Good oral hygiene.
  • Medically free from systemic diseases that actually contraindicate implant surgery.
  • Patient cooperation.
  • The presence of the intact walls of the socket after tooth extraction.

Exclusion criteria

  • General contraindications for dental and/or surgical treatments.
  • Concurrent or previous radiotherapy of head area.
  • Smoking.

Treatment and study plan

Free autogenous soft tissue grafts

Procedure

Free autogenous soft tissue grafts (Buccal Pad Fat and Palatal Gingival Graft) that will be placed over immediately-placed dental implants

Primary outcomes

  1. Marginal Bone Loss

    Time frame: 6 months postoperative

    Marginal Bone Loss around immediately-placed dental implants will be measured in millimeters on cross-sectional view of CBCT

Secondary outcomes

  1. Soft Tissue Healing

    Time frame: At insertion of the prosthetic part (T0) After 2-month post-insertion of the prosthetic part

    Using Pink Esthetic Score
