Official title Reduced Time Interval for Implant Placement After Extraction Socket Preservation Using the Vega Plus Implants
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07484685
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate whether reducing the healing interval for implant placement after extraction socket preservation improves clinical and radiographic outcomes compared with the conventional waiting period. Participants requiring single-tooth extraction and implant therapy will be randomly assigned to implant placement either 4 months or 6 months after ridge preservation using the Vega Plus implant system (Klockner).
