Magnesium membrane versus dual‑zone grafting for immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone

Official title: Evaluation of the Magnesium Shield Compared to Dual Zone Grafting Approach in Immediate Implant Site Management: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Run by British University In Egypt · NCT07492576 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This will test whether a magnesium membrane combined with bovine bone gives better bone and gum volume, improved esthetics, and less pain than dual‑zone grafting for adults receiving immediate implants in the upper front teeth.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–60 with hopeless upper front teeth, a thin buccal plate (≤1 mm), healthy gums, controlled medical conditions, and who are non‑smokers without recent chemotherapy/radiation or acute infections.

Probably not a fit

Patients who smoke, have uncontrolled systemic disease, recent chemotherapy or radiotherapy, acute infection, or who do not have a thin buccal plate in the aesthetic zone are unlikely to qualify or benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with hopeless maxillary anterior teeth and a thin buccal plate (≤1 mm) will receive immediate implant placement and be treated with either a magnesium membrane plus inorganic bovine bone placed between the membrane and implant, or with the dual‑zone grafting technique where graft material is placed in both bone and tissue zones. Key outcomes include socket volume gain, pink esthetic score, and patient pain measured by a visual analogue scale, with assessments at planned follow‑up visits. Eligible participants are 18–60 years old, periodontally healthy, non‑smokers, medically controlled, and without recent chemotherapy/radiotherapy or acute infection. The interventional procedures and follow‑up are conducted at the British University in Egypt in Cairo.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the magnesium membrane approach could better preserve bone and gum contours around immediate implants, improving esthetic results and patient comfort.

How similar studies have gone: The dual‑zone grafting concept is an established method for preserving soft‑tissue contour, while magnesium membranes with bovine bone are a newer approach with limited but promising early reports.
