Table 3

Modified Plaque Index, modified Sulcus Bleeding Index, and Gingival Index (scores 0-3), keratinized mucosa width, Papilla Index (scores 0-4), and pocket probing depth at T12. Midbuccal mucosal level changes from Tpre to T12. Modified Pink Esthetic Score and White Esthetic Score (scores 0-10). Marginal bone level changes from T1 to T12. Buccal bone thickness at T12. Patient-reported satisfaction (scores 1-10).

Tpre: prior to the treatment; Ttemp: 6 weeks after temporary restoration placement; T1: 1 month after final restoration placement; T12: 1 year after final restoration placement; N/A: not applicable. A positive value indicates tissue/bone level gain, and a negative value indicates loss.
