Soft Tissue Outcomes Of Badly Broken-Down Teeth Treated With Orthodontic Extrusion Compared With Immediate Implant Placement
Broken Teeth
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Broken Teeth
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients at 20-40 years old and have no history of periodontal disease. (periodontally healthy patients).
- Single rooted teeth with adjacent intact or restored neighboring teeth, more than one tooth may be included in the same arch.
- More than 1:1 crown root ratio, so that the C/R is 1:1 after extrusion and restoration.
- Presence of intact adjacent teeth.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Badly broken-down teeth with active signs of infection.
- Teeth with vertical root fracture.
- Teeth with severely tapered roots..
- Diabetic patients, assessed by measuring glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Patients with an HbA1c level greater than 8 will be excluded.
- Potentially uncooperative patients who are not willing to go through the proposed interventions (patients who will refuse to undergo orthodontic treatment).
- Moderate-to-heavy daily smokers* (who report consuming at least 11 cigarettes/day).
- Patients with systemic disease that may affect normal healing.
- Psychiatric problems, emotional instability, and unrealistic esthetic demands.
- History of radiation therapy to the head and neck, or bone augmentation to implant site.
- Labial cortical bone fenestration diagnosed from CBCT.
- Bruxism.

Active Comparator
Orthodontic extrusion
Immediate implant placement
An orthodontic attachment will be bonded to the core of the experimental tooth. Orthodontic brackets "American Orthodontics Roth prescription. 0.022" slot" will be bonded to the adjacent teeth. A passive rectangular stainless steel wire (0.016X0.022") will be inserted in the adjacent teeth with a step down and a coil at the site of the experimental tooth. Orthodontic extrusion will start using a light overlay wire of 0.012" NiTi and then continued by elastic chains/ threads extending between the attachment on the tooth and the stabilizing wire. The patient is followed up for appliance activation every 3-4 weeks and extrusion is performed until an adequate ferrule effect of 2 mm is present all around the tooth circumference (in addition to the biologic width). So the extrusion is completed when the tooth is 4-4.5 mm from the alveolar bone crest as judged by periapical radiographs.
The patient is anaesthetized. Atraumatic extraction of the badly broken down teeth will be performed using peroiotome. Luxation should be done mesiodistally and not buccolingually, to avoid damaging the buccal plate. After tooth removal, a curette is used to confirm that the location of the buccal plate is intact. Standard drilling procedures are performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then the implant is placed in the prepared site. Temporization should be done using composite 3M Filtek Z250 XT material. Finally, a porcelain fused to zirconia crown will be performed.
