Immediate versus delayed implant placement of novel fully tapered tissue-level implants - A retrospective multicenter clinical study.

Objectives: To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of novel fully tapered tissue-level implants in immediate implant placement (type 1) versus late implant placement (type 4) for the first time.

Materials And Methods: For this clinical study, 318 fully tapered tissue-level implants in 65 patients were inserted immediately (n = 68 implants) or late (n = 250 implants) in two different centers. Implant survival and success rates and marginal bone levels were analyzed.
