New treatment option for Alveolar Buccal Bone Dehiscences
Official title Evaluation Of The Success Rate of NOVAMag® SHIELD
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07533110
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study hypothesizes that the SHIELD technique, when combined with a suitable bone graft material, enables successful immediate implant placement in Type 3 extraction sockets with buccal bone dehiscence, regardless of the extent of buccal bone loss. Specifically, it is proposed that the regenerative potential of the SHIELD technique is not significantly affected by the degree of buccal bone dehiscence, whether in compromised sockets (ST3 Subclass B, when a buccal dehiscence is present and extending 1/3 to 2/3 of the total length of the alveolus) or severely compromised sockets (ST3 Subclass C, for severe dehiscence passing more than 2/3 of the facial bone of the alveolus).
