Mucograft Seal in ARP Follow-up

Rationale: Early implant placement with alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) using either a collagen matrix or a palatal graft rendered similar esthetic, clinical and PROMs to early implant placement without ARP, up to 1 year after functional loading. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate esthetic and clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction following single-tooth replacement in the anterior maxilla in patients treated with a xenograft and a collagen matrix or a free connective tissue graft versus spontaneous healing 5 years after loading Study design: prospective observational study with 5-year follow-up Intervention (if applicable): not applicable Main study parameters/endpoints: Comparison of the level of the buccal marginal gingiva (midfacial mucosa level) between ARP versus spontaneous healing Secondary parameters/endpoint: Peri-implant esthetic score (PES) and white esthetic score (WES), complications, implant survival; and success, Plaque Index, Modified bleeding index, Gingival Index, Probing Depth, PROMs, bone and soft tissue volumetric dimensional changes.
