Scientific title
Study objectivesThe influence of immediate versus delayed restoration of immediate single-tooth implants in the aesthetic region is evaluated. The study documents the treatment outcome of both strategies as well as the hard and soft tissue response. All parameters are carefully recorded to identify the treatment strategy with the best aesthetic results.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Commissie Medische Ethiek (O.G.016) on the 18th October 2007 (ref: B.U.N. B14320072578).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDental implants
InterventionTwo separate treatment groups were randomly created:

Immediate restoration group:
The total treatment is be done in one surgical appointment. After extraction of the failing tooth, the implant is immediately inserted into the extraction cavity. Within 3 hours the implant is loaded with a provisional restoration. At the 6 month recall visit the final restoration (crown) is connected.

Delayed restoration group:
This treatment involves two surgical interventions. First the tooth is extracted and an implant is immediately inserted into the extraction cavity. The surgical site is closed and a 3-month healing period started. Following this healing period implants were uncovered at second-stage surgery and a provisional restoration was connected to the implant. Again at the 6-month recall visit the final restoration (crown) is connected.

For both groups the moment of provisional crown connection is selected as baseline. Restorations were followed-up for at least one year following provisional crown connection.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureMucosa levels were recorded by means of an acrylic stent provided with three direction grooves: mesial, midfacial and distal. All measurements were assessed with a periodontal probe.
1. Papilla levels: a papilla level (mesial papilla level - distal papilla level) is defined as the distance between the top of the corresponding groove and the top of the papilla
2. Midfacial mucosa level: the midfacial level is defined as the distance between the top of the groove and the first contact with the peri-implant mucosa
Secondary outcome measuresAt each re-assessment, namely 3, 6 and 12 months after baseline (i.e. provisional crown connection), mesial and distal marginal bone changes over time were calculated using standardised peri-apical radiographs.
