Comparing immediate and conventional loading for dental implants

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the clinical, radiological, and patient-centered outcomes of immediate versus conventional loading protocols for dental implants placed in the esthetic zone of the maxilla. Patients with a single failing tooth will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: immediate provisionalization following early implant placement or conventional loading after the same procedure. The study will involve thorough pre-operative assessments, including medical history, clinical evaluations, and imaging to ensure eligibility. The implant surgeries will be performed by experienced surgeons, with careful monitoring of implant stability during the procedure.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Single failing tooth in the esthetic zone of maxilla (second premolar to second premolar)
* Patients older than 18 years
* Healthy patients ASA I and II
* Non-smokers/Light smokers (\<10 cigarettes per day)
* Adequate bone volume apical and palatal to the failing tooth to allow for sufficient primary - implant stability of regular diameter implant

Exclusion Criteria:

* Implants adjacent to the failing teeth
* Active periodontal infection
