Immediate Implant Provisionalization for Gum Disease

This study is looking at how well dental implants work when placed right after a tooth is pulled, especially for people with gum disease. Researchers are comparing two ways to treat the area after tooth removal: either placing a temporary crown right away or using a standard healing cap. The study also uses a special type of dental implant that has a smooth surface near the gums, which might make it easier to clean and reduce infection risk. We want to see which method leads to better gum healing and fewer problems around the implant. You can join if you are at least 18 years old, generally healthy, and have good oral hygiene or treated gum disease. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 44 participants. It compares two different approaches for dental implant placement.
What's involved
A dental implant will be placed after tooth extraction. Your gum tissue will be measured at 1 month, 4 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery and crown delivery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months after crown delivery to measure changes in gum tissue.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Age ≥ 18 years
Physical status according to the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) I or II, which include patients who are systematically healthy or may suffer from mild to moderate, however well-controlled systemic diseases.
Periodontally healthy or with treated periodontitis with good oral hygiene ((FMPS) and (FMBS) ≤15%, measured at four sites per tooth).
Presence of one non-restorable maxillary anterior tooth (from #5 to #12 sites)
More than 20 occluding teeth with stable occlusion.
Nonsmokers or smokers \< 10 cig/day (self-reported).

Exclusion

Presence of uncontrolled or untreated periodontal disease.
Presence of active periapical infection.
Subjects taking medications known to modify bone metabolism or those that can interfere with the normal wound healing (such as bisphosphonates, corticosteroids, hormone replacement therapy, parathyroid hormone, denosumab, strontium ranelate, etc.), or those with uncontrolled systemic diseases or conditions that may similarly affect the patient's healing (osteoporosis, osteopenia, hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, uncontrolled diabetes (HBA1c \> 8)).
Pregnant subjects or individuals attempting to get pregnant (self-reported)
Subjects smoking 10 or more cigarettes a day, or those with a history of drug or alcohol abuse (self-reported)
Subjects unable to maintain adequate oral hygiene
Insufficient restorative space or bite collapse.
Lack of primary implant stability assessed intrasurgically.
