Summary

This study looks at placing a dental implant and temporary crown right after tooth removal in the upper front jaw, using guided surgery and bone grafting. Fifty adults with bone loss will be followed for five years to check bone thickness, healing, and esthetics. The goal is to see if this one-step approach works well and is safe.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: dental implant with bone and soft tissue grafting
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could improve dental implant success and esthetics in patients with bone loss after tooth extraction.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and complications like infection or implant failure are possible.
