Magnesium membrane versus cortical lamina for vestibular socket therapy during immediate implant placement in upper front tooth sockets

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 randomized controlled trial compares two barrier materials—a rigid cortical lamina and a bioresorbable magnesium membrane—used with Vestibular Socket Therapy (VST) for immediate implant placement in Type II extraction sockets. VST is a minimally invasive approach that uses a small incision and a subperiosteal tunnel to place a bone shield and graft without raising a full flap. Twenty-four patients are randomized to one of the two materials and followed from baseline to six months with clinical and radiographic assessments of bone fill, implant stability, and soft-tissue outcomes. The trial aims to determine whether the magnesium membrane provides comparable mechanical support and enhanced biological healing compared with the established cortical lamina.
