Graftless Periosteal Coverage vs Xenogenic Graft for Jumping Gap in Immediate Mandibular Molar Implants

Official title: Graftless Periosteal Coverage Versus Xenogenic Bone Graft Beneath a Collagen Membrane for Jumping Gap Management in Immediate Mandibular Molar Implants: A Randomized Controlled Clinical and Radiographic Trial.

Run by Horus University · NCT07880184 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether graftless periosteal coverage can perform as well as a xenogenic bone graft beneath a collagen membrane for managing a jumping gap in immediate mandibular molar implants.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults requiring a single mandibular molar immediate implant with a jumping gap ≥ 2 mm and adequate primary stability (≥ 30 Ncm), without uncontrolled systemic disease or other high-risk factors.

Probably not a fit

Patients with poor oral hygiene, smoking, uncontrolled systemic conditions, active infection, or severely parafunctional habits may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies

This prospective, parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial compares graftless periosteal coverage to a particulate xenogenic bone graft with a collagen membrane for managing jumping gaps beneath immediate mandibular molar implants. Primary outcomes include volumetric and bone density analyses at around 4 months. Secondary outcomes assess aesthetic results and implant stability. Participants must have a single mandibular molar needing immediate implant placement with a jumping gap of at least 2 mm and adequate initial implant stability, and must meet safety criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the graftless approach could simplify procedures and reduce graft material needs while maintaining bone and aesthetic outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in similar contexts have shown mixed or favorable results; this trial tests a graftless method against a standard xenogenic graft under a collagen membrane.
