Comparing immediate and delayed dental implant placement outcomes
Esthetic, Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Immediate Implant Placement and Delayed Implant Placement in the Anterior Region of the Maxilla
This study is testing whether getting dental implants right after a tooth is removed works better than waiting a while, by looking at how well the gums and bone heal in both cases.

What this trial studies
This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the esthetic, clinical, and patient-centered outcomes of immediate versus delayed dental implant placement. Participants will be divided into two groups based on the timing of their implant placement following tooth extraction. The study will assess changes in soft tissue and bone healing around the implants in both scenarios, providing insights into the best practices for dental implant procedures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are missing a single tooth in the maxillary anterior region and have adjacent natural teeth.
Not a fit: Patients with poor oral hygiene, severe parafunctional habits, or systemic conditions that contraindicate oral surgical treatment may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of optimal dental implant placement techniques, leading to improved esthetic and clinical outcomes for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown varying success with immediate and delayed implant placements, but this specific comparison is less commonly explored, making it a valuable investigation.
Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * At least 18 years old and able to understand an informed consent * Adequate oral hygiene to allow for implant therapy consistent with standards of care. * Missing a single tooth in the maxillary anterior region * Presence of adjacent natural teeth Exclusion Criteria: * Poor oral hygiene * Severe parafunctional habits, for example, bruxing and clenching * Presence of clinically active periodontal disease as expressed by probing pocket depths≥4 mm in combination with bleeding on probing. * Conditions that might lead to a possibly lowered regenerative capacity of the bone, for example, osteoporosis and Paget's disease * Pregnant or expecting to be pregnant * History of drug and alcohol abuse * History of systemic diseases that would contraindicate oral surgical treatment, for example, uncontrolled diabetes (defined as HBA1c level \>7%) * Radiotherapy in the head and neck area, * On certain medications like bisphosphonates or steroids currently or within the past three months * Absence of adjacent teeth * Unwillingness to return for the follow-up examination * Smokers (more than 20 cigarettes per day). Subjects smoking \<20 cigarettes per day were requested to stop smoking before and after surgery
