Brief summary

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical outcomes, peri-implant parameters, microbial environment and success rates of three different placement times of single wide implants for replacing molar teeth. Materials and mehtods: Wide –diameter implants will be placed at different times following extraction of a single molar tooth in either mandibular or maxillary arches. A total of 39 participants will be randomly allocated to three equal sized groups (13 per group), a control and one of the test groups as follows: Control group: Implants placed after complete bone healing Test group 1: Implants immediately place after extraction Test group II: Implants placed after an early osseous healing time (3-5 weeks).

Interventions

Placement of single endosseous wide diameter titanium oral implants in the fresh extraction sockets or early healed sockets (3-5 weeks) in the molar region to support single implant crowns for 5 years. Surgical technique: Atraumatic extraction, sectioning of the molars and removal of each root individually. Sockets will be prepared with standard drills and tapered osteotomes to prepare the interradicular bone.
