Purpose: This retrospective study is to evaluate whether the timing of implant placement and the result of esthetic outcomes are related.
Materials and Methods: Among the patients who had undergone single implant surgery on anterior area from 2010 to 2013 in Veterans Health Service Medical Center, 34 implants in 27 patients (24 male and 3 female) were selected and categorized into 3 groups according to the timing of placement, which are group D (Delay), group E (Early) and group I (Immediate). Aesthetic indices used included the Pink Esthetic Score (PES). It has 7 variables scores, such as mesial papilla, distal papilla, a level of soft-tissue margin, soft-tissue contour, alveolar process, soft-tissue color, and soft-tissue texture. Each variable ranges from 0 to 2, therefore total 14 points are highest. All patients were received by regular follow-up at least 1-year. One examiner measured PES on the intraoral photos. Each patient was considered as a statistical unit for statistical analysis. Statistical analyses were performed using a commercially available statistical software (SPSS Statistics 21.0, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Kruskal-Wallis test was used for inter-group comparisons. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05.
Result: Mean score in Group D, Group I, and Group E were 11.5 ± 1.5, 11.4 ± 1.8, and 11.3 ± 1.8 respectively. In Kruskal-
Wallis test, there are no differences (P=0.989).
Conclusion: In this limited study suggests that clinical aesthetic results can be achieved with all treatment protocols. Finally, various factors can be considered to produce the esthetic results.
