Peri-implant Soft Tissue and Bone Evaluation in Fully Computer Guided Immediate Implants

Patient selection:

The study will be conducted on total of 16 patients recruited from the outpatient clinic of Oral Medicine, Periodontology, Oral Diagnosis and Radiology department, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain-Shams University. Sixteen consecutive healthy male/female patients with single non restorable remaining maxillary root from the right second premolar to the left second premolar will be added to the study.

Sample size analysis :

A sample size of 14 (7 in each group) will be sufficient to detect an effect size of approximately 1.75, with a power (1-β error) of 0.8 (80%) using a two-sided hypothesis test, with a significance level (α error) 0.05 for data. G power program version 3.1.9.2 was used for sample size calculation.This was increased to 8 patients in each group to make up for lost follow up cases The procedure will be explained to all patients and an informed consent will be signed before their inclusion in the study.

These patients will be divided randomly into 2 groups:

Group I: will include 8 patients who will undergo guided immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization with preplanned PMMA provisional restoration on Ti-Base Group II: will include 8 patients who will undergo guided immediate implant placement and immediate loading by using a final CAD/CAM customized abutment and a cemented CAD/CAM fabricated PMMA provisional restoration.

Inclusion criteria
