After a single-tooth extraction, physiological remodeling processes are unavoidable which leads to a total loss of the periodontal ligament and resorption of the bundle bone. Immediate implant placement associated with bone substitutes and customized healing abutments seems to reduce the amount of resorption at peri-implant areas. Recently, studies evaluating the use of a connective tissue grafts are being conducted in order to assess possible final outcome advantages in immediate implant procedures. This study aims to evaluate peri-implant tissue dimensional changes after the use of a customized healing abutment with or without connective tissue graft in flapless maxillary immediate implant placement.
