The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if vertical position of the dental implant will affect the bone around the implant in place of a missing tooth that happens to be bounded by two natural teeth. It will also measure esthetics and patient satisfaction. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does vertical implant position below the crest of the bone lead to less marginal bone loss? Will it affect implant survival as well as quality of soft tissue, esthetics and patient satisfaction?
Participants will:
Have an implant placed at the bone level or 2 mm below the bone level Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups, radiographs, and readings
Patients with single missing upper anterior or premolar teeth
Patients with minimum buccolingual width of 6 mm and mesiodistal width of 6 mm
Patients with thin soft tissue phenotype
Patients with healthy systemic conditions.
Patients with inadequate bone volume and/ or quality
Patients with local root remnants
Patients with inadequate wound healing
Patients with signs of acute infection related to the area of interest.
