Variations in Soft and Hard Tissues following Immediate Implant Placement versus Delayed Implant Placement following Socket Preservation in the Maxillary Esthetic Region: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Figure 5

Delayed implant placement in relation to 12 (control group). (a) Pre-operative site in relation to 12. (b) Atraumatic extraction of 12. (c) Extracted root stumps (12). (d) Socket in relation to 12 postextraction. (e) Clinical measurement of labial plate thickness. (f) Measurements of the socket using a stent. (g, h) A-PRF procured from the patient’s own blood. (i) A-PRF and DBBM mixed in a ratio of 1 : 1. (j) Free gingival graft procured from the palate. (k) Socket seal achieved using FGG following placement of A-PRF and DBBM in the extraction socket. (l) Sutures placed in relation to 12. (m) Post-operative site 4 months following preservation. (n) Outline of incisions for implant placement in relation to 12. (o) Placement of implant in relation to 12. (p) Placement of healing abutment in relation to 12. (q) Crown placed in relation to 12.
