Long-term Effectiveness of Contour Augmentation in Sites With Early Implant Placement

In this prospective case series study, 20 patients with an implant-borne single crown following early implant placement with simultaneous contour augmentation will be followed for 10 years. Clinical, radiologic, and esthetic parameters will be assessed. In addition, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be used at 10 years to examine the facial bone wall and compared to the 6 year data.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Single tooth gaps post extraction in the esthetic zone
• Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Heavy smoking (more than 10 cigarettes per day)
