Overview
Brief Summary
It is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate two surgical techniques for dental implant placement simultaneously with bone augmentation.
Detailed Description
Implants receiving Contour Augmentations at the time of placement are randomized into two groups, submerged and non submerged. Healing is evaluated at 4 months post op compared to the day of surgery.

Inclusion Criteria
- •Age more than 21 years - ASA I or II.
- •Patient's willingness to participate in this study.
- •Availability for 4-month follow-up.
- •Absence of active periodontal disease.
- •Single tooth replacement is needed with simultaneous contour augmentation.
- •Available pre-operative CBCT study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Hard tissue healing around dental implants
Time Frame: 4 months
bone healing around Submerged and Non-submerged dental implants will be measured by Periodontal probe and radiographs. A Mann-Whitney U Test will be used to calculate bone healing changes. To evaluate bone healing Mean values, standard deviations and frequencies will be calculated.
Secondary Outcomes
- Soft tissue healing around dental implants(4 months)
