Immediate Implants in the Aesthetic Zone

Primary Stability and PES/WES Evaluation for Immediate Implants in the Aesthetic Zone: a Clinical Double-blind Randomized Study

The use of immediate implants in the aesthetic area is a technique widely used in modern implantology. The characteristics of the patient, the implant, and the surgical procedure used may influence the final results. The aim was to assess whether the implant design affects primary (PS) and secondary stability (SS), bone level (BL), and PES/WES evaluation.

20 implants with two different designs (n=10) were immediately placed in the upper anterior maxilla with no grafting material. ISQ, BL, and PES/WES were evaluated. Results will analyze with the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (p<0.05).

The random distribution is made prior to assignment following the internet prgram https://www.random.org
