ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different surgical techniques affect the volume of soft tissue after a tooth is extracted and an immediate dental implant is placed. The researchers want to compare two methods: the Socket-Shield technique and the conventional immediate placement technique. They hope to find out if the Socket-Shield technique helps maintain more soft tissue volume around the implant compared to the conventional method.

To participate in this trial, you need to be someone who requires the extraction of a single tooth in the upper jaw and has healthy bone structure around that tooth. Unfortunately, if you have any conditions that make surgery unsafe or if your tooth has significant bone loss or recession, you won’t be eligible. If you decide to join, you'll undergo an intraoral scan to measure your soft tissue before the extraction, and then again six months later to see how much it has changed. The study is currently recruiting participants, and we welcome individuals of all ages and genders.
