Stability of contour augmentation of implant-supported single crowns in the esthetic zone: One-year cone-beam computed tomography results of a comparative, randomized, prospective, two-center clinical study using two different bone grafting techniques in early implant placement.

Background: Early implant placement with contour augmentation could provide support and volume to the hard and soft tissues. Herein, we aimed to ascertain whether freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) shares with deproteinized bovine bone material (DBBM) the results for esthetic outcomes for anterior teeth and stability of peri-implant facial bone thickness and height by conducting guided bone regeneration.

Methods: Forty-eight patients were randomly assigned into two groups.

A comparative, randomized, prospective, two-center clinical study to evaluate the clinical and esthetic outcomes of two different bone grafting techniques in early implant placement.

Background: Early implant placement combined with simultaneous contour augmentation was able to rebuild stable facial hard-tissue and soft-tissue contours that were esthetically pleasing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical esthetic outcome, when two different bone grafting materials were used.

Methods: Forty-eight patients were randomly assigned into two groups.
