Soft Tissue Volume Changes in Posterior Socket Sealing Abutment.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim is to clinically evaluate the effect of the alveolar sealing technique using a customised abutment on soft tissue volume changes following molar extraction and immediate dental implant placement.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Detailed Description
A sample of 20 patients in ASAI health status who agree to be involved in the study after giving their consent and who require immediate post-extraction implant treatment in the molar area will be recruited.
The soft tissue status before and 6 months after tooth extraction will be recorded by means of a digital impression taken with the same intraoral scanner.
The patient will be asked to complete a 7-question questionnaire to inform us about his or her perception of the therapeutic process and the final result.
A comparative volume measurement will be made by digitally superimposing the two mesh files obtained before and 6 months after the treatment.
Statistical data will be analysed by an external statistician and conclusions will be drawn about the effect of the technique on soft tissue volume as well as the patient's perception of the procedure and its outcome.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Soft tissue dimensional changes [From 0 to 6 months]
The changes that occur in the soft tissues in millimetres by comparing the digital impressions before and 6 months after the treatment using specific software.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patients satisfaction [From 0 to 6 months]
Patients will be asked about their satisfaction after the treatment in a Numerical Rate Scale form 0 (Not satisfied) to 10 (Very satisfied).
