Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with two adjacent hopeless maxillary anterior teeth or roots with type II sockets, adequate palatal bone, ≥3 mm apical bone for primary implant stability, and good oral hygiene and compliance.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are medically compromised or have contraindications for implants—such as uncontrolled diabetes, active smoking, untreated periodontitis, immunosuppression, recent head/neck radiation, bisphosphonate therapy, or severe bruxism—are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The approach uses a minimally invasive tunnel access through the vestibular area (vestibular socket therapy, VST) to augment extraction sockets and allow immediate/early placement of implants in two adjacent maxillary anterior sites. Cone beam CT imaging is used to plan treatment because thin or missing facial bone is common in the anterior maxilla. The procedure combines socket augmentation, contour augmentation, and early implant placement aimed at improving primary stability and soft-tissue outcomes while reducing surgical steps. Eligible patients must have type II sockets with adequate palatal bone and at least 3 mm of apical bone for initial implant engagement.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could shorten treatment time, reduce surgical steps, and improve cosmetic results for patients needing adjacent implants in the upper front jaw.
How similar studies have gone: Immediate implant placement and guided bone regeneration have decades of supportive data for predictable aesthetic outcomes, while vestibular socket therapy itself is a newer, less extensively tested technique.

Inclusion Criteria: \- patients with two adjacent hopeless maxillary teeth or remaining roots in the esthetic region missing coronal tooth structure, type II socket (deficient labial plate of bone and intact overlying soft tissues), adequate palatal bone, ≥ 3 mm apical bone to engage the immediately placed implants, thereby achieving optimum primary stability (a minimum of 30 Ncm insertion torque) following teeth extraction. acceptable compliance and oral hygiene. Exclusion Criteria: medically compromised patients. (Systemic diseases). general contraindication for implant placement.
