Brief Summary

Esthetic outcome of immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets remains one of the biggest challenges in implant dentistry. Recently a method to preserve the peri-implant tissues was introduced using provisional restoration, allogenic bone and soft tissue thickening. However, the evidence that this immediate provisialisation with soft tissue grafting using different grafting materials results in constantly high Pink Esthetic scores, especially compared to the delayed loading approach is still lacking. The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the esthetic outcome of immediate temporization of immediately placed and loaded tapered implants in fresh extraction sockets with bone and soft tissue augmentation, using either a connective tissue graft (CTG) or a porcine-derived membrane (Mucoderm) in maxillary anterior sites. The secondary objectives are to investigate the influence of immediate loading on the success rate of tapered implants and crestal bone levels.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Aesthetic evaluation

    Pink esthetic score (PES) according to Fürhauser et al. 2005 Seven variables will be evaluated: mesial papilla, distal papilla, soft-tissue level, soft-tissue contour, alveolar process deficiency, soft-tissue color and texture. Using a 0-1-2 scoring system, 0 being the lowest, 2 being the highest value, the maximum achievable PES is 14. For the PES assessment, frontal photographs will be taken using a digital camera with a flash strobe mounted on a tripod (Canon 350d, 3456×2304 pixel resolution). PES will be assessed at baseline (Final Prosthesis), 3- and 12-month visit.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Recession of gingiva (REC)

Study Arms (2)

Test group

EXPERIMENTAL

Immediate implant placement and temporization of tapered implants after tooth extraction with buccal augmentation using allogenic bone and porcine-derived membrane.

Device: Dental implant placement, bone and soft tissue augmentation on buccal site

Control group

EXPERIMENTAL

Immediate implant placement and temporization of tapered implants after tooth extraction with buccal augmentation using allogenic bone and connective tissue grafting (CTG).

Device: Dental implant placement, bone and soft tissue augmentation on buccal site

Interventions

1. Atraumatic extraction 2. Palatinal positioning of tapered implant (BLX) 3.75mm diameter 3. 3-4 mm below vestibular gingival line or 1 mm below bone crest 4. Implant placement 5. Allogenic bone packing of the "jumping distance" and soft tissue grafting 6. Connective tissue graft (CTG) or porcine-derived membrane 7. Provisional restoration out of occlusion and mandibular movements 8. X-ray
