Study Overview
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.
