Brief Summary

Several recent systematic reviews have highlighted how the macrodesign of dental implants can influence stress distribution and biomechanical and biological behavior in implants immediately inserted in post-extraction sites. Finite element analyzes have confirmed the benefit of the inclination of the implant threads in reducing implant displacement in post-extraction sites, increasing primary stability, and decreasing stress in contact with the trabecular bone. Other comparative studies have shown that the design of the threads of the implant does not affect the distribution of stress in the surrounding bone. In view of the need to evaluate the influence of implant macrodesign in the case of implants inserted in post-extraction alveoli, this study will examine the clinical results of two different types of implants with different macrodesigns, with the aim of providing scientific evidence in this regard. The present study will investigate through a randomized controlled trial the effect of thread macrodesign of X-space implants on primary stability and osseointegration when inserted in post-extraction sites, as compared to cylindric 2P implants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Buccal bone dimensional changes

    Measurements of buccal bone dimensional changes assessed through a series of linear measurements on two cone-beam (immediately after implant insertion and after 6 months). Measurements will be calibrated using the implant as a reference and will be performed at the marginal bone level, at the central spire level and at the apex level. Outcome will be expressed in mm.

    6 months

  • Implant failure

    Dental implant loss after insertion. Outcome will be assessed during follow-up checks and confirmed through clinical signs of loss (implant mobility) and intraoral radiograph.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Primary stability

    immediately after implant insertion

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Complications

    During the entire follow-up period- up to 6 months.
