Predicting bone and soft tissue alterations of immediate implant sites in the esthetic zone using clinical parameters.

Background: Immediate implantation is generally a predictable treatment, but sometimes there are significant tissue alterations at the surgical site which compromise clinical outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between tissue alterations and different clinical parameters in esthetic areas following immediate implant placement and provisionalization.

Materials And Methods: Clinical parameters were measured at 36 non-grafted immediate implant sites enrolled in a randomized controlled trial.

Immediate implant placement and provisionalization in the aesthetic zone using a flapless or a flap-involving approach: a randomized controlled trial.

Aim: We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of flapless (FLS) or flap-involving (F) immediate placement and provisionalization of single-tooth implants in the aesthetic zone.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-nine patients were randomized following extraction of a non-restorable tooth to a FLS or F group. All implants were immediately placed and provisionalized.
