Does the pre-operative buccal soft tissue level at teeth or gingival phenotype dictate the aesthetic outcome after flapless immediate implant placement and provisionalization? Analysis of a prospective clinical case series.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Immediate implant placement (IIP) often is related to mid-buccal recession in literature. To draw conclusions about the behavior of the soft tissues following IIP, pre-operative aesthetic measurements have to be taken into account.
