About this trial
The aims of our study are to investigate in patients with immediate implantation replacing a single tooth in the maxillary anterior (#FDI 15-25) region the effect of (a) custom vs cylindrical stock healing abutments, then (b) screw retained single ceramic crowns, on the peri implant hard- and soft-tissue formation and blood flow.
