What this Trial Is About
Immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone can often lead to buccal bone deficiency, which might affect the long-term stability of the implant and esthetic results. Researchers are studying the use of an autogenous bone graft taken from the maxillary tuberosity to rebuild the buccal bone plate during immediate implant placement. This prospective case series aims to assess clinical and esthetic outcomes such as buccal bone thickness, facial soft tissue thickness, and the pink esthetic score after implant restoration. Participants in this study will receive immediate implant placement in the maxillary esthetic zone along with a two-layer autogenous graft harvested from the maxillary tuberosity. This graft includes cortical bone and connective tissue and is used to reconstruct the buccal bone plate. The study focuses on evaluating how this procedure affects peri-implant tissue stability and esthetic outcomes. Throughout the study, clinical and radiographic evaluations will be performed. Buccal bone thickness will be measured using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), while facial soft tissue thickness will be assessed clinically. Esthetic outcomes will be evaluated by the pink esthetic score after the final prosthetic restoration. The primary measurement is buccal bone thickness at six months post-implant placement. Participants will be monitored during follow-up visits to assess these outcomes.
