Guided Root Slice Replantation vs. Socket Shielding for Immediate Front-Teeth Implants
Official title: Artificial Intelligence Integrated Planning and Evaluation of Novel Fully Guided Autogenous Root Slice Replantation and Fully Guided Socket Shielding in Immediate Esthetic Implant Placement (Randomized Clinical Trial)
Run by Minia University · NCT07845019 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether keeping part of the tooth root in place or using socket shielding works as well as conventional methods when placing an implant right after a front-tooth extraction.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy adults aged 20–40 requiring immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone with suitable bone and no active pathology at the site.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with active periodontal disease, systemic health concerns, pregnancy, or parafunctional habits may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies
This interventional trial compares two root-preservation approaches—autogenous root slice replantation and socket shielding—used during immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone. It also evaluates whether AI-guided surgical planning improves accuracy, esthetics, and gum health compared with traditional planning. Procedures involve 3D-printed surgical guides informed by AI for implant placement, with a comparison to conventional bone augmentation methods. Eligible participants are healthy adults aged 20–40 with a single front-teeth extraction site and adequate bone for primary implant stability. Outcomes focus on cosmetic appearance, periodontal health around the implant, and surgical precision.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience better cosmetic results and healthier gums around implants placed immediately after extraction.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work suggests root-preservation concepts can be beneficial, but the added value of AI-guided planning in this exact comparison is still being explored.
