What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating whether shortening the healing time between extraction socket preservation and implant placement improves clinical and radiographic outcomes compared to the usual longer waiting period. This randomized controlled clinical trial involves adults needing single-tooth extraction and implant therapy using the Vega Plus implant system. The study aims to optimize treatment timing and improve efficiency while maintaining positive clinical results. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive implant placement either 4 months (reduced interval) or 6 months (standard interval) after ridge preservation. Both groups undergo treatment with the Vega Plus implants. Clinical examinations and imaging will be conducted at baseline and follow-up visits to assess differences between the two timing protocols. Throughout the trial, participants will have clinical and radiographic assessments including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to measure changes in alveolar ridge width and bone height. Implant stability, marginal bone levels, and postoperative pain will also be monitored. Follow-up extends to two years post-prosthetic loading, providing detailed data on treatment outcomes and safety.
