Vestibular Socket Therapy (VST) Versus Partial Extraction Therapy

Vestibular Socket Therapy (VST) Versus Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) for Treating Fresh Extraction Sites With Thin Labial Plate of Bone With Immediate Implant Placement in the Esthetic Zone: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The current randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the VST versus Partial Extraction Therapy (PET) for immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone in class I fresh extraction sites.

The primary outcome was the assessment of vertical dimensional changes in peri-implant soft tissue margin.

The secondary outcome was the assessment of radiographic changes in the thickness of the facial peri-implant tissues.

Inclusion Criteria:

• single hopeless maxillary tooth in the esthetic zone
• non-smokers
• systemically healthy
• Class I extraction sites

Exclusion Criteria:

• smoking
• Class II and III extraction sites
• hopeless teeth with acute infection or vertical/horizontal root fracture
