Labial soft tissue contour dynamics following immediate implants and immediate provisionalization of single maxillary incisors: A 1‐year prospective study

Abstract

During the 1-year observation following single IIPP treatment in maxillary incisors, the labial soft tissue contour showed a continuous alteration resulting in a mean change in thickness of 0.62 mm that occurred mainly in the first 3 months and tended to be relatively stable after 6 months, while the crescent-like shape, width, height, and thickest point position of the alteration volume remained stable after 3 months. No advanced mid-facial recession was observed.
