Background and study aims
Tooth extraction is necessary when all other dental treatments to preserve a tooth did not help. After tooth extraction the underlying bone structure and the surrounding soft tissues collapse if not preserved. In the visible area seen upon full smile (aesthetic zone) the preservation of these tissues are important. The aesthetic success of a dental restoration is determined by the harmony of the underlying bone structure and these surrounding soft tissues. It is not known to what extend immediate placement of a single implant can do to preserve these tissues if there is sufficient bone or if there is a bony defect after the tooth extraction.
Who can participate?
In this study 76 healthy human adults (> 18 year) with a failing tooth in the aesthetic zone of the upper jaw (maxilla) can participate.
What does the study involve?
The participants undergo the same treatment procedures, only within a different time schedule. For this study a NobelActive implant (Nobel Biocare AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) is used. Depending on the remaining bone after tooth extraction, the treatment strategy is as follows:
Sufficient bone: the implant is immediately placed after tooth extraction and immediately restored with a temporary crown. One stage surgery.
Sufficient bone: the implant is immediately placed after tooth extraction but restored after 3 months with a temporary crown. Two stage surgery.
Insufficient bone: the implant is immediately placed after tooth extraction but restored after 3 months with a temporary crown. Two stage surgery.
Insufficient bone: a guided bone augmentation takes place after tooth extraction. 3 months later the implant is placed in a healed site. 3 months later the implant is restored with a temporary crown. Three stage surgery. This is the conventional way.
All participants have three additional research appointments. The first appointment is prior to the surgery, second after definite crown is placed and third is one year after the placement of the definite crown.
During these appointments digital intra oral pictures are taken. Examination of the underlying bone structure is done by X-rays and the surrounding soft tissues are measured with a dental instrument. In the last two appointments also a questionnaire has to be filled out.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
All participants get the same discount on their bill. Because they are participating, the costs of the dental implant are reduced. There are no additional costs for this study. The only risk of participating in this study can be implant failure. Implant failure can occur within every study group. When this occurs the treatment will be repeated.
Where is the study run from?
This study takes place in the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study started in October 2010 and will run until December 2012. All participants have been recruited.
Who is funding the study?
University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG) is funding this study.

| Scientific title | Immediate placement and/or restoration of a single-tooth implant after extraction in the anterior maxilla: a randomized clinical trial |
| Study objectives | Investigate the influence on the hard and soft tissues of immediate placement of a single implant in an extraction socket in the anterior maxilla. Null hypothesis: is that there are no differences in the hard and soft tissues and aesthetic outcome |
| Ethics approval(s) | 1. Local Medical Ethics Committee [Medische Etische Toetsingscommissie (METc)], 29/09/2010, ref: 2010/246 2. General Assessment and Registration [Algemeen Beoordelings en Registratieformulier (ABR)] ref: NL 31761.042.10 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Failing tooth in the aesthetic zone |
| Intervention | 2 groups with suffcient bone and 2 groups with insufficient bone. They are randomised depending on the bony defect. An envelope is opened after the bony defect is determined. 1. Sufficient bone: the implant is immediately placed after tooth extraction and immediately restored with a temporary crown. One stage surgery. 2. Sufficient bone: the implant is immediately placed after tooth extraction but restored after 3 months with a temporary crown. Two stage surgery. 3. Insufficient bone: the implant is immediately placed after tooth extraction but restored after 3 months with a temporary crown. Two stage surgery. 4. Insufficient bone: a guided bone augmentation takes place after tooth extraction. 3 months later the implant is placed in a healed site. 3 months later the implant is restored with a temporary crown. Three stage surgery. This is the conventional way. |
