Flapless immediate implant placement and provisionalisation (FIIPP) using a palatal implant position (≥ 2 mm): A prospective multicentre CBCT study with a 3-year follow-up.
The flapless immediate implant placement and provisionalisation approach provides long-term stability for the buccal crest, supporting peri-implant soft tissues and yielding high aesthetic outcomes, with a mean pink aesthetic score of 12.1 after 3 years. Palatal implant positioning appears to be a key determinant of successful outcomes with this approach.
