Vestibular Socket Therapy (VST) Versus Partial Extraction Therapy

The current randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the VST versus Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) for immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone in class I fresh extraction sites.

The primary outcome was the assessment of vertical dimensional changes in peri-implant soft tissue margin.

The secondary outcome was the assessment of radiographic changes in the thickness of the facial peri-implant tissues.

Class I extraction sites

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Class I extractions sites received immediate implants using the Vestibular Socket Therapy

Procedure

A 1-cm-long vestibular access incision was made using a 15c blade 3 to 4 mm apical to the mucogingival junction at the related socket. A subperiosteal tunnel was created connecting the socket orifice and the vestibular access incision

class I extractions sites received immediate implants using the Partial Extraction Therapy

Procedure

the hopeless tooth was decoronated 1 mm coronal to the gingival margin using a diamond bur. Then, the facial root segment was separated from the rest of the root using a Lindemann bur in gentle mesiodistal sweeping strokes from the gingival margin to the apex of the root, aiming to separate the palatal and the labial root segments.

Primary outcomes

Changes in the peri-implant facial tissue thickness

Time frame: at baseline and 6 months

through CBCT images (Carestream 8000D- Carestream Dental) that were taken at baseline and 6 months postoperatively
