Evaluation of Esthetic Outcomes of M-shaped Flap Implant Uncovering Technique Versus I-shaped Incision Around Single Implants in the Anterior Maxilla Using Pink Esthetic Score

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Dental Implant Failed
• Interventions: Procedure: I-incision, M-flap and conventional implant exposure techniques

• Registration Number: NCT04102748
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the soft-tissue profile around a single-tooth implant in the anterior maxilla utilizing the PES after implant uncovering using "M" flap versus I-shaped incision.The primary objective is evaluation of esthetic outcomes around implant using PES.

Hypothesis: The use of I-shaped incision exposure technique will result in better esthetic outcomes.
