Facial mucosal level of single immediately placed implants with either immediate provisionalization or delayed restoration: An intermediate-term study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Immediately placed single implants with either immediate provisionalization (test) or delayed restoration (control) were followed for up to 1 year in our previous randomized clinical trial. Peri-implant tissues continue to remodel after implants are in function. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the facial mucosal level changes in the intermediate term between the two groups and to study potential factors influencing the mucosal level change.

Methods

Patients who had already completed the previous clinical trial by receiving a single immediately placed implant were re-invited to this study. The facial mucosal level as well as the other peri-implant hard and soft tissue dimensions and conditions were measured clinically, radiographically and
