Thick lingual flap was de-epithelized and partially dissected to increase its length then flipped and sutured to the buccal flap to obtain primary closure

complete uneventful healing will be assessed clinically by measuring soft tissue width and thickness using periodontal probe under local anesthesia

esthetic outcome will be measured using pink esthetic score. Pink esthetic score (PES) will be recorded for five variables: "mesial papilla, distal papilla, curvature of the facial mucosa, level of the facial mucosa, and root convexity/soft tissue color and texture at the facial aspect of the implant site". A score of 2, 1, or 0 will be assigned to all five parameters.

also patient satisfaction will be recorded using:

• (VAS) Visual analogue scale to measure postoperative pain. Pain score reported by the patient. directly through Visual Analogue Scale score (from 0 to 10. 0: no pain, 1: minimal pain, 5: moderate pain, 10: severe pain) which will be recorded after 2 weeks (Yildirim et al., 2017)
