Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study compares two bone graft materials used when placing a dental implant right after tooth removal. One graft fully dissolves (GTO®), the other only partly (Apatos®).

The goal is to see which one better preserves bone and improves appearance around the implant.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This multicenter, double-blind randomized controlled trial aims to compare the clinical, radiographic, and aesthetic outcomes of two xenogeneic bone substitutes, GTO® (fully resorbable) and Apatos® (partially resorbable), used in post-extractive sockets at the time of immediate implant placement.

Eligible patients are adults requiring a single-tooth extraction in the maxilla or mandible, followed by immediate implant placement.

The primary outcome is peri-implant bone volume changes over time, assessed using CBCT scans.

Secondary outcomes include implant and crown failure, implant stability, marginal bone level changes on periapical radiographs, and aesthetic outcomes evaluated using the pink esthetic score based on clinical photographs.

Patients will be followed up to 5 years after loading.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Resorbable Bone Substitute (GTO®)

Patients receive a fully resorbable bone substitute (GTO®) to fill the gap between the implant and the buccal bone wall during immediate post-extraction implant placement.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

GTO® (fully resorbable bone substitute)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Collagenated heterologous cortico-cancellous porcine bone mix + thermogelling copolymer with collagen (GTO®, OsteoBiol®, Tecnoss®)

Partially Resorbable Bone Substitute (Apatos®)

Patients receive a partially resorbable bone substitute (Apatos®) to fill the gap between the implant and the buccal bone wall during immediate post-extraction implant placement.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Apatos® (partially resorbable bone substitute)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Porcine cortical bone granules (Apatos Cortical®, OsteoBiol®, Tecnoss®) stabilized with TSV Gel®, a thermogelling copolymer with collagen.

* At least 18 year old, able to understand and to sign an informed consent
* There must be sufficient bone to allow the placement of at least a 3.5 mm diameter and 8.5 mm long implant.
* After tooth extraction there must be a potential gap of at least 2 mm from the buccal inner bone plate and the implant surface.

Exclusion Criteria

* General contraindications to implant surgery.
* Immunosuppressed or immunocompromised patients.
* Patients irradiated in the head and/or neck.
* Uncontrolled diabetes.
* Pregnancy or lactation.
* Active periodontal disease
* Poor oral hygiene and motivation.
* Addiction to alcohol or drugs.
* Psychiatric problems and/or unrealistic expectations
* Patients with an acute infection (abscess) in the site intended for implant placement.
* Patients unable to commit to a 5-year follow-up.
* Patients treated or under treatment with intravenous amino-bisphosphonates.
* patients referred only for implant placement if follow-ups cannot be done at treatment centre.
* Patients participating in other studies, if the present protocol could not be fully adhered to. In case of doubts please contact the study coordinator.
