Vestibular Socket Therapy Using Magnesium Membrane Versus Cortical Lamina for Immediate Implant Placement in Type II Extraction Sockets

This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of bioresorbable magnesium membranes compared to traditional cortical lamina in Vestibular Socket Therapy (VST) for immediate implant placement in Type II extraction sockets. The study utilizes Vestibular Socket Therapy (VST), a minimally invasive technique that involves a small incision and a subperiosteal tunnel to place a "bone shield" and graft without the need to raise a traditional flap. The trial compares two distinct materials used as the regenerative barrier: the control group utilizes a cortical lamina, which is a rigid bone plate known for its stability and slow resorption rate. The experimental group receives a magnesium membrane, an emerging class of "bioresorbable metals" that provides mechanical stability similar to titanium while releasing ions that stimulate bone-building cells and promote blood vesse
