This study aims to compare the clinical success and patient-reported outcomes of immediately loaded dental implants placed in sites with buccal dehiscence treated by horizontal augmentation versus immediately loaded implants placed without regeneration techniques.
This is a prospective, interventional, non-randomized, comparative clinical trial designed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of immediately loaded dental implants using two different surgical approaches. One group will receive implants placed in sites with buccal dehiscence treated by horizontal bone augmentation, while the comparison group will receive immediately loaded implants placed without the use of any bone regeneration techniques. The primary outcome of the study is implant success at 12 months after implant placement. Secondary outcomes include marginal bone level changes, complication rates, and oral health-related quality of life assessed using a validated questionnaire. The study is conducted with a parallel assignment model and an open-label design due to the nature of the surgical interventions.

Immediately loaded dental implants placed in sites presenting buccal dehiscence treated by horizontal bone augmentation using a guided bone regeneration technique according to a standardized surgical protocol.
Immediately loaded dental implants placed without the use of any bone regeneration or augmentation techniques.
Implant Success Rate
Implant success is defined as implant survival at 12 months, absence of clinical mobility, absence of persistent pain or infection, absence of peri-implant radiolucency, and no need for implant removal or surgical re-intervention.
Time frame: 12 months after implant placement
