Accuracy of SocketFit vs Conventional Guides for Immediate Anterior Implants
Official title: Evaluation the Accuracy of Immediate Implant Placement Using SocketFit Static Surgical Guide Versus Conventional Static Surgical Guide in Anterior Esthetic Zone
Run by Tanta University · NCT07760974 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether the SocketFit static surgical guide improves where an implant goes compared with a conventional guide for upper front teeth implants.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–35 seeking immediate anterior implants with favorable extraction socket conditions and thick mucosa, who meet all inclusion criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to dental implants or non-ideal socket/bone conditions may not benefit from the SocketFit approach.

What this trial studies
This interventional study compares two static surgical guides used during immediate implant placement in the anterior esthetic zone. The SocketFit guide includes a socket-engaging extension to improve seating and stability after tooth extraction, potentially reducing implant deviation. Accuracy will be measured by comparing planned versus actual implant positions on postoperative CBCT, including coronal, apical, angular, and depth deviations. The study focuses on adult patients in good health who require anterior implants and meet specific dental criteria. Results could influence guide selection and precision in immediate anterior implant therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If SocketFit proves more accurate, patients could experience higher predictability of implant positioning and potentially better esthetic outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Prior static-guided implant studies show improved accuracy with computer-guided methods, but results for SocketFit specifically are limited and exploratory.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients in good health with absence of any relevant medical condition that contraindicates dental implant placement e.g. blood coagulation disorder. * Optimal compliance is evidenced by no missed treatment appointments and a positive attitude toward oral hygiene. * Extraction socket type I according to Ellian et al criteria with adequate native/apical bone to achieve primary implant stability and intact buccal plate of bone. * Thick mucosal phenotype. * Probing depth ≤ 3 mm at mid-buccal aspect of failing tooth. * Age ranged from 18- 35 years old of both genders. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients subjected to irradiation in the head and neck area. * Bisphosphonate therapy. * Females who are pregnant or trying to conceive, and nursing mothers. * Smokers and uncontrolled diabetic patients.
