Effect of Temporization on the Peri-implant Soft Tissue of Immediate Implants: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

This parallel arms, randomized controlled clinical trial will involve 22 systemically free patients with an unrestorable tooth in the upper esthetic zone. They will be randomly allocated to two equal groups. Group A (test group) will receive immediate implants with simultaneous immediate temporization, while group B (control group) will receive immediate implants with no temporization. After scaling root planing, the clinical parameters including PES, gingival recession, gingival thickness, postoperative pain and swelling as well as radiographic parameter obtained from Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) (buccal bone thickness) will be recorded. Immediate implant placement will be performed followed by simultaneous temporization in group A only. Postoperative medication will be prescribed to the patient and postoperative instructions will be explained in detail. Monthly follow-up will be performed to ensure performing proper oral hygiene. Data will be recorded at baseline (at time of implant insertion), three months, six months and nine months post prosthetic placement. Data collected will be tabulated and statistically analysed.
