NCT07760974

Brief Summary

This study compares two types of surgical guides used during immediate dental implant placement in the upper front teeth. One guide is a conventional static surgical guide, while the other is a modified SocketFit static surgical guide designed to improve stability after tooth extraction. The purpose of the study is to determine whether the SocketFit guide improves the accuracy of implant placement.The findings may help improve the precision and predictability of immediate dental implant treatment in the anterior esthetic zone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Coronal deviation

    The linear distance (mm) between the planned and actual implant positions at the coronal platform, measured by digital superimposition of the preoperative implant plan and postoperative Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data.

    Immediately after implant placement following digital superimposition of the planned and actual implant positions.

  • apical deviation

    The linear distance (mm) between the planned and actual implant positions at the implant apex, measured using digital superimposition of the preoperative implant plan and postoperative Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data.

    Immediately after implant placement following digital superimposition of the planned and actual implant positions.

  • depth(vertical) deviation

    The vertical difference (mm) between the planned and actual implant positions along the implant long axis, measured using digital superimposition of the preoperative implant plan and postoperative Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data.

    Immediately after implant placement following digital superimposition of the planned and actual implant positions.

  • angular deviation

    The angular difference (degrees) between the long axes of the planned and actual implant positions, measured using digital superimposition of the preoperative implant plan and postoperative Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data.

    Immediately after implant placement following digital superimposition of the planned and actual implant positions.

Study Arms (2)

SocketFit Static Surgical Guide

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will undergo immediate implant placement in the anterior esthetic zone using the SocketFit static surgical guide. The guide incorporates a socket-engaging extension designed to enhance guide stability and drilling accuracy following atraumatic tooth extraction. Implant placement will be performed according to the planned digital workflow.

Device: SocketFit Static Surgical Guide

Conventional Static Surgical Guide

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants allocated to the control group will undergo immediate implant placement in the anterior esthetic zone using a conventional tooth-supported static surgical guide designed through the standard digital workflow. Following atraumatic tooth extraction, the guide will be seated on the remaining teeth to direct sequential osteotomy preparation and implant placement according to the preoperative virtual implant plan. All other surgical procedures, implant system, drilling protocol, and postoperative management will be identical to those used in the experimental group.
