Comparing immediate and delayed dental implant placement

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 multicenter randomized controlled trial invites patients needing a single dental implant in the premaxilla to participate. Participants will undergo a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan to assess bone integrity before being randomly assigned to either immediate or delayed implant placement after tooth extraction. The study aims to evaluate the need for soft tissue augmentation at 5 months post-procedure by comparing outcomes between the two groups. A total of 60 patients will be treated across 6 centers, with a digital planning process and surgical guide utilized for precision.
