Single Implant in the Maxillary Esthetic Area with or Without Connective Tissue Grafting. 4-Year Follow-Up
The association of CTG with dental implants in aesthetic areas, after a 48-month follow-up, led to an increase in TTb. Therefore, CTG is indicated due to the increase in TTb during the follow-up period. However, there were no improvements in BD, PBR, or PES/WES over time. Aesthetics and quality of life were similar between the two groups 4 years post-implant placement.
