Brief Summary

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

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.

Study Groups

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

Group 1

Socket grafting with a fully resorbable synthetic biomaterial (β-tricalcium phosphate + calcium sulfate).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Insertion of implants in post-extraction tooth

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 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.
* Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

* Heavy smoking (\>20 cigarettes/day).

* Uncontrolled diabetes or systemic conditions affecting bone healing.
* Current bisphosphonate/antiresorptive therapy.
* Immunosuppression, pregnancy.
* Poor oral hygiene or acute infection at site.
* Severe bone dehiscence preventing primary stability.
