Facial Gingival Changes With and Without Socket Gap Grafting Following Single Maxillary Anterior Immediate Tooth Replacement: One-Year Results.

This 1-year prospective study evaluated horizontal and vertical facial gingival tissue changes after immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) with and without bone graft in the implant-socket gap (ISG). During IIPP, 10 patients received bone graft material in the ISG (G group), while the other 10 patients did not (NG group). The implants were evaluated for implant stability quotient (ISQ), modified plaque index (mPI), modified bleeding index (mBI), marginal bone level (MBL), facial gingival level (FGL), and facial gingival profile (FGP) changes.
