Iraq28 participantsStarted 2025-12-20

Plain-language summary

This randomized controlled study is aimed to evaluate the esthetic, clinical, and radiographic outcomes following the placement of immediate single-tooth implant with hard and soft tissue augmentation. Subjects will randomly assigned to one of two groups: * Group A (control group) receiving an immediate single-tooth implant in the esthetic zone with bone augmentation only. * Group B (study group) receiving an immediate single-tooth implant in the esthetic zone with bone augmentation and connective tissue graft (CTG). The main questions it aims to answer is: Is there is a significant difference in the esthetic outcome between bone augmentation alone and bone augmentation combined with connective tissue graft after immediate dental implant in the esthetic zone?
