Aims and objectives: The aim of the study is to provide an alternative treatment modality in immediate implant placement in the anterior aesthetic region by assessing the effectiveness of socket shielding technique for immediate implant placement with respect to specific clinical and radiographic parameters.
The main objectives of study will be:
Reducing need of bone graft there by reducing the cost of treatment
Reducing the post operative complications of grafting
Making a convenient and easy surgical technique thereby reducing operating time
Promoting faster osseointegration of implants
Providing a minimally invasive procedure benefitting the general population
Providing more aesthetic value to the therapy
Materials and methods:
Type Of Study : prospective study
Site of study : Sree Balaji Dental College and Hospital
Samplesize : 10
Sampling method: Purposive sampling
Study Design : clinical study
Funding : self
Expenditure : 90000
INITIALLY THE STUDY WILL BE PERFOMED BY SKILLED PROFESSIONAL AND THE INVESTIGATOR WILL BE PERFORMING UNDER GUIDANCE AFTER PROPER OBSERVATION OF INITIAL CASES
Inclusion criteria:
Cases requiring extraction of teeth in the anterior region of maxilla and mandible
Patients above 18 years of age
Exclusion criteria:
Anterior teeth requiring extraction with periapical pathology.
Completely edentulous patients.
Immunocompromised patients.
Patients with other systemic conditions contraindicated for surgery.
Procedure:
1. Patient consent both written and informed will be obtained
2. Pre-operative assessment and examination
2a. History of the patient: The pre-operative data will be collected and recorded including name, age, gender, occupation, address, onset and aetiology of the fracture
2b. Clinical examination
Extraoral examination
Inspection: To record swelling, or sinus discharge in the teeth to be extracted.
Intraoral examination
Inspection: To find out mobility, presence of any cystic lesion or sinus tract opening
Palpation: To detect areas of tenderness and alteration of bony contour, each tooth was examined for mobility and fracture.
2c. Radiographic examination:
Standard orthopantomograms (OPG) and intraoral periapaical radiographs (IOPA) will be performed for all the cases.
3. Operative Procedure
Patient will be prepared under sterile aseptic protocol
Preparation of surgical site will be done with 5% betadiene solution
Local anaesthesia (lignocaine) with adrenaline (1:80000) will be administered in buccal and palatal aspects as infiltration anaesthesia
Vertical release incision will be placed
Full thickness mucoperiosteal flap will be raised
Tooth will be sectioned using periotome and palatal fragment will be removed leaving behind the intact buccal fragment
Pulp tissue if present will be extripated
Initial pilot drill will be placed followed by sequential drilling
Implant will be placed in the socket and cover screw placement to be done
Check Xray will be taken for analysing the position of implant
Closure of socket will be done using simple interrupted or mattress suture
