Inclusion Criteria

Healthy adult patients for which dental extraction was required and implant therapy was a feasible option to be offered/discussed

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients with medical history in which any dental intervention would be contraindicated such as uncontrolled diabetes, head and neck radiation for cancer treatment or current treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates
2. Presence of clinically symptomatic periapical radiolucencies, acute abscesses or chronic sinus tracts at the site of extraction
3. Heavy smokers (+10 cigarettes/day)
4. Pregnancy
5. Presence of active periodontal disease
6. Inability or unwillingness to return for follow-up visits

• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Soft tissue volumetric changes measured in plaster study models obtained at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Additionally, further measurements will be taken with a periodontal probe at baseline and 6 months to evaluate the location of certain anatomic landmarks using a custom-made prefabricated stent for each patient.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 1. Hard tissue volumetric changes assessed with intraoperative measures at the bone level at the time of dental extraction and at 6 months before placement of dental implants at those locations. A periodontal probe and calipers will be used to evaluate the location of certain anatomic landmarks using a custom-made prefabricated stent for each patient.<br> 2. Probing pocket depth measured with a periodontal probe at baseline and 6 months<br> 3. Gingival phenotype measured with a periodontal probe at baseline and 6 months<br> 4. Plaque and gingival bleeding indexes measured with a periodontal probe at baseline and 6 months<br>
