Immediate implant placement with titanium mesh and xenograft versus collagen membrane for buccal bone defects in the front upper jaw

Official title: Comparison of Flapless Immediate Implant Placement With Titanium Mesh Versus Immediate Implants Placement With Collagen Membrane in Type II Socket: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Run by Misr International University · NCT06875830 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether adding a titanium mesh with xenograft to immediate implants helps build thicker buccal bone than using a collagen membrane alone in patients with front-upper jaw defects.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 21–50 years with anterior maxillary defects requiring immediate implant placement and buccal bone deficiency, who are ASA I and able to comply with follow-up.

Probably not a fit

Patients with bruxism, smokers, or pregnant/lactating individuals may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies

This parallel-arm randomized trial compares two approaches to immediate implant placement in patients with buccal bone defects in the anterior maxilla. Group A uses xenograft grafting covered by a titanium mesh and collagen membrane, while Group B uses xenograft grafting covered by a collagen membrane alone. Outcomes include buccal bone thickness and soft tissue thickness measured at 6 and 12 months, along with postoperative pain and swelling documented for the first two weeks after surgery. Participants are adults aged 21–50, ASA I, with at least one remaining root or badly decayed tooth in the anterior maxilla and deficient buccal bone, and will be followed to assess healing and implant stability. Data will be analyzed to determine if the mesh-assisted approach provides a thicker buccal plate compared with the membrane-alone method.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve esthetic outcomes and long-term stability of implants in patients with buccal bone defects.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work suggests please note: similar bone augmentation strategies have shown promise, but direct comparison between titanium mesh with xenograft and collagen membrane alone in this exact setting is less established.
