Material And Methods: Patients requiring single tooth replacement of a maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, and premolar regions were included in the study. Implant sites were divided into three groups based on the presence or absence of an infection: Group 1 (Control) non-infected sites (healthy periodontal and endodontic conditions); Group 2 (Test 1) acutely infected sites (presence of a periodontal or endodontic or combined abscess and/or fistula); Group 3 (Test 2) chronically infected sites ( presence of a periodontal pocket or a periapical lesion with no signs of acute inflamation).

As part of the COVID-19 response, the city has directly administered over 6 million COVID-19 tests (in addition to millions of indirectly administered tests not covered in this analysis) at no cost to individuals, resulting in nearly half a million positive results. Given that the prevalence of testing, throughout the pandemic, has tended to be higher in more affluent areas, these tests were targeted to areas with fewer resources.
