Buccal plate augmentation with sticky bone for immediate dental implants
Buccal Plate Augmentation Using Sticky Bone Versus Usage of Sticky Bone as a Jumping Gap Filling Material With Simultaneous Immediate Implant Placement in the Maxillary Esthetic Zone :A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
This study is testing whether using sticky bone to add volume to the gum area helps improve the appearance of dental implants placed right away in the front of the mouth.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the pink esthetic score following buccal plate augmentation using sticky bone compared to using sticky bone as a gap-filling material during immediate implant placement in the maxillary esthetic zone. Patients will undergo a thorough pre-operative evaluation, including medical history, dental history, and imaging studies to ensure proper conditions for the procedure. The surgical approach involves careful extraction and preservation of the buccal bone plate, followed by the application of sticky bone for augmentation or filling. The outcomes will be measured based on aesthetic results post-implant placement.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a non-restorable maxillary tooth in the esthetic zone and an intact buccal plate.
Not a fit: Patients with periapical infections, periodontal disease, or systemic health conditions affecting healing will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the aesthetic outcomes of immediate dental implants in the anterior maxilla.
How similar studies have performed: Similar studies have shown promising results in enhancing aesthetic outcomes with immediate implants, but this specific approach may be novel.
