Comparison of crestal bone loss and papilla fill after conventional and immediate implant placement: A 12 month clinical and radiographic prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The problem of missing teeth persists in all age groups. The main objective of implants in dentistry is to provide a restoration that reconstructs the shape and restores esthetics and functions of edentulous areas. The objectives of this study are to compare the crestal bone level changes and papillary fill after placement of implants in fresh extraction socket, i.e. immediate implant placement, and healed extraction socket, i.e. delayed or conventional implant placement, and to assess other clinical parameters such as modified plaque index (mPI), modified gingival index (mGI) and gingival biotype in between the groups and within the groups.

Methods

18 patients were recruited in the study out of which 9 patients received implants as per immediate implant placement
