Abstract
Objectives
This randomized clinical trial aimed to compare changes in soft tissue height, probing depth, and buccal contour volume loss following immediate implant placement using either chairside composite or prefabricated zirconia Sealing Socket Abutments (SSAs) in the posterior region.
Materials and Methods
47 patients requiring posterior tooth extraction and immediate implant placement were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the composite Sealing Socket Abutment (CS) group (n = 24), receiving chairside-fabricated abutments, or the zirconia Sealing Socket Abutment (ZR) group (n = 23), receiving prefabricated abutments. Implants were placed immediately after extraction, using static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS). Supra-Platform Tissue Height (SPTH) and total horizontal tissues (THT) were assessed using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) over a 3-month healing period. Implant survival, probing pocket depths (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and plaque index (PI) were recorded clinically, while volumetric analysis was performed using digital impressions.
Results
SPTH remained stable from baseline to the 3-month follow-up, with a mean change of −0.17 mm in the CS group and −0.44 mm in the ZR group. These differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). THT exhibited significant horizontal shrinkage in both groups over the 3-month period. In the CS group, THT decreased by 1.00 mm, while the ZR group showed a reduction of 1.17 mm (p < 0.001). PPD increased in the CS group from 2.8 mm to 3.7 mm on the palatal/lingual aspect and from 2.5 mm to 3.2 mm on the buccal aspect (p = 0.026). In contrast, the ZR group showed a decrease from 3.1 mm to 2.7 mm palatally/lingually and remained stable buccally at 2.6 mm to 2.7 mm (p = 0.001). BOP in the CS group decreased from 42.3% to 7.7% (p = 0.009), while the ZR group maintained low BOP levels, decreasing slightly from 17.4% to 4.4% (p = 0.346).
Conclusions
Both approaches showed comparable outcomes. ZR abutments resulted in shallower probing depths, while CS abutments showed less volumetric shrinkage. SPTH remained stable in both groups.
Trial Registration
This trial was registered prior to patient enrollment at ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05748379
期刊介绍:
The goal of Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research is to advance the scientific and technical aspects relating to dental implants and related scientific subjects. Dissemination of new and evolving information related to dental implants and the related science is the primary goal of our journal.
The range of topics covered by the journals will include but be not limited to:
New scientific developments relating to bone
Implant surfaces and their relationship to the surrounding tissues
Computer aided implant designs
Computer aided prosthetic designs
Immediate implant loading
Immediate implant placement
Materials relating to bone induction and conduction
New surgical methods relating to implant placement
New materials and methods relating to implant restorations
Methods for determining implant stability
A primary focus of the journal is publication of evidenced based articles evaluating to new dental implants, techniques and multicenter studies evaluating these treatments. In addition basic science research relating to wound healing and osseointegration will be an important focus for the journal.
