Background: The increase in soft tissue (ST) around implants can benefit peri-implant health and aesthetic results. The objective was to compare the gingival and esthetic health benefits of immediate implant placement (IIP) with simultaneous or delayed connective tissue graft (CTG) compared to IIP without CTG.
Methods: A systematic review was carried out by two reviewers in Medline-Pubmed, Scopus, and Cochrane.
