About this trial

The placement of short implants in post-extraction sockets is a valuable option when residual bone height is limited, minimizing morbidity and treatment time. The management of the peri-implant gap and soft tissues may influence primary stability, hard/soft tissue remodeling, and implant success.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years.

Single-tooth post-extraction sites requiring immediate implant placement in posterior regions (premolars/molars) or selected anterior sites.

Adequate oral hygiene, no active periodontal disease.

Disqualifiers

Heavy smoking (>20 cigarettes/day).

Uncontrolled diabetes or systemic conditions affecting bone healing.

Current bisphosphonate/antiresorptive therapy.

Immunosuppression, pregnancy.
