Objective:
Evaluate the peri-implant soft tissue esthetics following a single, immediately provisionalized, delayed implant with/-out subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG).
Material And Methods:
The eligible patients were randomized into two groups. Immediate provisionalization was performed with (test group: SCTGG) or without SCTG (control group: NGG). The soft tissue esthetics was assessed by Pink Esthetic Score (PES) and Mucosal Scarring Index (MSI), at 6 and 12 months, following final implant restoration.
Results:
The SCTGG, compared to NGG, yielded a 0.2 increased PES at 12 months (95% confidence interval (CI): -1, 1.4) and a 0.2 decreased MSI score (95% CI -0.9, 0.5) with no statistically significant differences in PES and MSI between both groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion:
Soft tissue grafting around immediately provisionalized delayed implants could exhibit comparable results to immediate provisionalization alone in terms of peri-implant soft tissue esthetics using PES and MSI (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03770975).
