About this trial
This randomized clinical study aims to evaluate the effect of autologous demineralized dentin graft (ADDG) with or without melatonin gel on the osseointegration of immediately placed dental implants in the maxillary premolar region. Thirty patients requiring extraction and immediate implant placement will be randomly allocated into two groups. Clinical and radiographic outcomes including implant stability, peri-implant probing depth, modified bleeding index, marginal bone loss, buccal bone thickness, and bone density will be evaluated over a 9-month follow-up period.

Treatments tested in this trial
Autologous Demineralized Dentin Graft
Procedure/SurgeryAutologous demineralized dentin graft prepared from extracted non-restorable teeth will be used for filling the jumping gap around immediately placed dental implants. Tooth preparation includes removal of restorations, caries, periodontal ligament, pulp tissue, calculus, and cementum, followed by grinding and demineralization using 2% nitric acid before graft placement.
Melatonin gel
DrugMelatonin gel will be mixed with autologous demineralized dentin graft and used for filling the jumping gap around immediately placed dental implants in the maxillary premolar region to enhance osseointegration and peri-implant bone healing.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ)
Measured using Penguin device immediately after implant placement and after 6 months.
Jumping Distance
The horizontal bucco-implant gap (jumping distance) will be measured radiographically using CBCT at 0 mm, 2 mm, and 5 mm apical to the implant shoulder as the perpendicular distance from the implant surface to the inner buccal bone plate.
Bone Density
Bone density around the implant will be measured radiographically using CBCT and expressed in Hounsfield units (HU) to evaluate peri-implant bone maturation and osseointegration.
Secondary outcomes
Buccal Bone Thickness (BBT)
Buccal bone thickness will be measured radiographically using standardized CBCT scans at 0 mm, 2 mm, and 5 mm apical to the implant shoulder to evaluate horizontal buccal bone dimensional changes around immediately placed implants.
Crestal Bone Height (CBH)
CBH was measured from the implant platform to the most coronal crestal bone at the mesial, distal, buccal, and palatal aspects using standardized CBCT images.
Peri-Implant Sulcus Depth (PISD)
Peri-implant sulcus depth will be measured clinically using a periodontal probe at the buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal aspects around the implant.
Modified Bleeding on Probing Index (MBOP)
Modified bleeding on probing index will be recorded clinically using a periodontal probe to evaluate peri-implant soft tissue inflammation around the implant.
