Protocol summary

Study aim
Radiographic and clinical comparison of 4 methods of filling the buccal gap of immediate implants using extended platelet-rich fibrin(e_PRF), leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin(l_PRF), xenograft, no gap filling
Design
A randomized clinical trial with a control group and sample concealment, blinding with parallel groups, is being conducted on 68 patients in 4 groups.
Settings and conduct
Patients for immediate implant placement, if they meet the entry criteria, are randomly assigned to each group, consisting of 17 people. Based on the block randomization method, they are divided into 4 groups: Immediate implant and no buccal gap filling Immediate implant and buccal gap filling using xenograft Immediate implant and buccal gap filling using L-PRF Immediate implant and buccal gap filling using e-PRF Blinding is performed during the radiographic data collection stage and the individuals who collect the soft tissue topography scan files and during the statistical data analysis stage.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria Systemic health and no drug or alcohol addiction Type 1 socket Plaque index less than 20% buccal gap greater than mm2 Exclusion criteria infection, deep probing depth, and initial implant instability Need for simultaneous bone grafting
Intervention groups
The control group does not place any material in the buccal gap. The Xenograft group, Serabone, is packed in the buccal gap. The third group, L-PRF, is placed at a setting of 2700 for 12 minutes.The fourth group, e-PRF, is placed in the buccal gap.after blood collection, centrifugation is performed at 700 for 8 minutes, a layer of Poor Plasma Fibrin is placed in the heater to coagulate proteins and mixed with PRF.
Main outcome variables
Percentage of implant height covered by bone in buccal, measurement of the distance between the external surface of the bone and the implant shoulder

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Systemically healthy patient Patients who are at least 18 years old The tooth socket must be type 1 (buccal soft tissue and buccal and lingual bone plates must be intact) Non-molar teeth that cannot be maintained Immediate implant placement (achieving initial stability of at least 35Ncm) is possible without moving the flap and there is sufficient intraocclusal space. It is possible to place an implant fixture with a horizontal buccal gap greater than 2 mm. A person with adequate oral hygiene with a plaque index less than or equal to 20 percent
Exclusion criteria:
People who smoke or are addicted to drugs or alcohol People who are pregnant or have systemic diseases such as diabetes, or if they are taking antibiotics or drugs that weaken the immune system such as corticosteroids. Probing depth greater than three millimeters buccally or lingually The need for bone grafting at the same time as implant placement Presence of local or systemic conditions that are contraindications to implant placement

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block randomization is performed using software and a sealed envelope tool is used. Blinding is performed during the clinical data collection phase (soft tissue thickness measurement is performed by a dentist who is unaware of the grouping before surgery) and review of scan files and statistical analysis. The person taking the radiographic measurements is also unaware of the study grouping (only after 3 months of surgery is the xenograft group distinguished from the other groups due to the observation of bone particles on the radiograph). The participants in the study are not blinded.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Buccal bone thickness (post-surgery): Linear measurement of the distance between the external surface of the bone and the implant shoulder at distances of 0, 2, 4, and 6 mm from the implant shoulder perpendicular to the long axis of the implant.
Timepoint
At the beginning of the study and 3 months after surgery
Method of measurement
Measurements of the width of the socket in the coronal and apical sections, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the socket, are made linearly on the 3D image DIACOM file, by a person who is unaware of the grouping.

2

Description
Implant coverage by bone: Percentage of implant height covered by bone in the buccal areas.
Timepoint
3 months after surgery
Method of measurement
Bone thickness and height (percentage of implant covered by bone both buccally and lingually) are performed linearly on the 3D image dycom file by a person who is unaware of the grouping.

Other

2

Description
Intervention group: In the L-PRF group, after blood collection from the brachial artery, it is placed in 2 red 9 ml test tubes in a centrifuge at 2700 rpm for 12 minutes. After this time, the obtained L-PRF is separated from the red blood cells and packed by the special area in the PRF kit to produce L-PRF plug.

Other

3

Description
Intervention grouIn the buccal gap filling e-PRF group, after blood collection from the brachial artery in a 9 ml white test tube, it is centrifuged at 700 rpm for 8 minutes. After that, to prepare e-PRF, first 2 ml of the liquid was obtained. In the test tube, which is PPP (platelet poor plasma), it is aspirated using a 3 ml locking syringe And this syringe is placed in a heater for 10 minutes at 75°C to coagulate the proteins. During this time, the test tubes are placed in the refrigerator to prevent coagulation. After ten minutes, the syringes are removed from the heater and placed in the refrigerator to reach room temperature, and the centrifuge tubes are removed from the refrigerator and their plastic lids are opened and the L-PRF layer and buffy coat are aspirated using a locking syringe. The syringe containing the PPP is coagulated and PRF is connected using the syringe connector, and the contents of the syringe are mixed and injected into the buccal gap and packed up to the gingival margin using a condenser.
