Introduction: Replacing single rooted teeth with immediate implant is quit challenging in the anterior region where the buccal bone is usually deficient, moreover the bone loss increases with the extraction of tooth and the cutting of the blood supply from the periodontal ligament. With the normal bone loss around successful implant about 0.2 mm per year, its essential to start with enough buccal bone bulk to ensure long survival of the implant.
The main disadvantage of guided bone regeneration is the inability of the membrane to protect the graft from the forces exerted during suturing of the flap at the end of the procedure and the forces exerted by the patient's muscles during mastication, leading to displacement of the bone graft. Tent pole technique suggest the use of monocortical screws to support the membrane preventing displacement of the bone graft. Bone ring technique suggest surrounding the implant by ring of bone which is fixed in place by the implant itself.
Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Bone Ring technique, and Tent-Pole technique on buccal/Labial bone with immediate implant placement.
Methodology: Clinical study will be done in 24 cases of single rooted teeth with deficient buccal bone and require replacement with immediate implant. The 24 cases will be divided into three groups ,8 cases each. In group A, immediate implant will be placed with traditional guided bone regeneration, in which the buccal bone will be enhanced by autogenous bone chips obtained from the symphysis area and then covered by resorbable membrane. In group B, immediate implant will be placed with bone ring technique, in which autogenous bone ring obtained from the symphysis will be placed around the implant and fixed in place by the implant itself. In group C, immediate implant will be placed with tent pole technique, in which monocortical screws will be placed to support the membrane covering the autogenous bone chips obtained from the symphysis area. the implant stability will be measured immediate after implant placement and after six months from the surgery using osstel system. The buccal bone volume changes will be measured by cone beam ct.
Full description
Tooth loss is still considered an epidemic condition affecting populations in different areas of the world. Immediate implant aroused as an instant solution for tooth loss with its major advantages over the conventional implant technique including preservation of bone, better soft tissue esthetic, easier placement of implant with proper position and less number of visits with less treatment time leading to less cost.
The main obstacle facing immediate implant is the insufficient buccal bone whereas the buccal bone especially in the anterior region is usually thin cortical bone with no cancellous bone support. Deprived from the blood supply supplied by the cancellous bone support, the thin buccal cancellous bone receives blood supply only from the periosteum and the periodontal ligament of the adjacent teeth which is cut during extraction leading to further decrease in blood supply and increased bone resorption. Moreover, most of the teeth which need replacing is either periodontally or apically inflamed leading to more loss of buccal bone.
Guided bone regeneration which is defined as the use of a barrier membrane to direct the growth of new bone, has been the main key to solve the insufficient buccal bone problem. However Guided bone regeneration delays the implant placement by a period of time more than 6 months which is required by the bone to build up. To decrease the time of treatment, new researches suggested applying guided bone regeneration at the same time of placing immediate implant reducing the surgical procedures to one stage procedure. Parhiz and Refoua, in 2017 placed 27 immediate implants in sockets with buccal bone defect with appling guided bone regeneration at the same procedure. The results after 6 months showed 96.3% success rate with no suppuration or thread exposure.
The main drawback of regular guided bone regeneration is the inability of the weak membrane to protect the underlaying bone graft from the forces exerted be the flap tension during the final suturing due to insufficient soft tissue or forces exerted by the patient muscles during chewing leading to bone graft displacement and failure of bone formation. (Zhenya Su et al., 2021) Tent Pole technique suggest the use of monocortical screws to support the membrane and allow enough space for the bone graft. The monocortical screws are placed extending from the bone for few millimeters required to be augmented into bone to prevent the displacement of the membrane towards the bone. In 2020, Shah et al. studied the effect tent pole technique on 10 cases of buccally defected alveolar bone ridge. The results showed that tent pole technique is an effective in augmenting vertical bone defects. (Shah et al., 2020).In 2020, Doan et al. also came to the same results concluding that tent pole technique can increase horizontal ridge dimension with minimum complications.
Bone ring technique suggest the placement of bone ring around the crestal part of the implant. A trephine bure used to prepare the recipient site just to the same size of the bone ring prepared from wither autogenous bone, allograft or xenograft. The bone ring is then placed on the prepared recipient site and the osteotomy for the implant is done through its middle hole, considering the bone ring as a guide. The implant is then placed to fix the bone ring to the site.
In 2020, Sáez et al. did a systemic review on effectiveness of the bone ring technique and simultaneous implant. 219 bone rings blocks were included in the review and the results showed a mean bone ring survival rate of 97.26% with mean bone gain of 4.94 mm In 2020, Yuan et al. compared between bone ring technique and tent-pole technique for bone augmentation of horizontally deficient alveolar ridge in the anterior maxilla. The results showed that In-situ bone ring technique evidently increased and maintained horizontal bone mass at the alveolar ridge crest compared to tent-pole technique.

Sample size calculation
The sample size for this study was calculated according to (Charan and Biswas, 2013) used the following equation:
N =(〖(Z_α)〗^2 * 〖(S)〗^2)/〖(d)〗^2 N = Total sample size Z_α= Is Standard normal variate and its equal 1.96 at P< 0.05 SD = Standard deviation of variable d = Absolute error or precision
Zα SD d 1.96 4.99 2
Total sample size N =(〖(1.96)〗^2 x〖(4.99)〗^2)/〖(2)〗^2 = 23.914≈ 24 samples

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Cone beam will be done to assess:
4. Grouping and Surgical procedure: - the 24 implant cases will be randomly divided into 3 groups, 8 implant cases each.
Autogenous bone will be obtained from the symphysis area. A trephine bure will be used to obtain bone ring, while auto chip maker will be used to obtain bone chips.
In group A, traditional guided bone regeneration will be done in which a flap will be raised under local anesthesia, followed by atraumatic extraction of the tooth, after which a 3D guided osteotomy will be done and the implant will be inserted, then covered buccally with autogenous bone graft chips and resorbable membrane before flap suturing.
In group B, bone ring technique will be applied in which the same procedure as group A will be followed till tooth extraction, after which a trephine bure will be inserted through a 3D guide to prepare the site to receive the bone ring. The osteotomy will be done through the bone ring and the implant will be inserted to fix the implant in place, then covered buccally with autogenous bone graft chips and resorbable membrane before flap suturing.
In group C, tent pole technique will be applied in which the same procedure same as group A will be followed till implant insertion. Two monocortical screws will then be inserted using 3D guide, mesial and distal to the implant and extending 3 mm outside the bone, then covered buccally with autogenous bone graft chips and resorbable membrane before flap suturing.
