Abstract
In this study, the aesthetic outcome of treatment was analysed after immediate implant placement in 16 patients. During implant installation the gap between the implant and the buccal plate was filled with a bone substitute. Only single tooth replacements were included; the final crowns were placed 3-6 months after implant installation, all with individual manufactured abutments with an emerging profile and platform switching. Postoperative aesthetics were analysed based on clinical photographs and satisfactionquestionnaires. The objectively attained White Esthetic Score and Pink Esthetic Score with an average value of 8.4 and 11.8 respectively, scored high, as was also observed for patient's satisfaction on both treatment and outcome (an average of 8.7). It may be concluded that flapless immediate implant placement together with the application of a bone substitute into the buccal gap in combination with a final crown with emerging profile results in objective and subjective good aesthetics and high patient satisfaction.
