About this trial

The placement of short implants in post-extraction sockets is a valuable option when residual bone height is limited, minimizing morbidity and treatment time. The management of the peri-implant gap and soft tissues may influence primary stability, hard/soft tissue remodeling, and implant success.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years.

Single-tooth post-extraction sites requiring immediate implant placement in posterior regions (premolars/molars) or selected anterior sites.

Planned short implant (≤7-8 mm length, 3.5-5.0 mm diameter).

Adequate oral hygiene, no active periodontal disease.

Disqualifiers

Heavy smoking (>20 cigarettes/day).

Uncontrolled diabetes or systemic conditions affecting bone healing.

Current bisphosphonate/antiresorptive therapy.

Immunosuppression, pregnancy.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Insertion of implants in post-extraction tooth

    Procedure/Surgery

    Two widely used approaches include: 1. Socket grafting with a fully resorbable synthetic biomaterial (β-tricalcium phosphate + calcium sulfate). 2. Socket grafting with a xenograft and a custom Sealing Socket Abutment (SSA) with a concave emergence profile. No randomized controlled trials have yet compared these protocols with integrated outcomes including resonance frequency analysis, peri-implant health indices, radiographic bone level changes, and digital intraoral scanning (IOS)-based morphometric analysis.
