Current Primary Outcome: Changes in mid-facial bone levels. [ Time Frame: 18 months and 30 months after implant placement. ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Changes of interproximal levels after loading. [ Time Frame: 18 months and 30 months after implant placement. ]Measured by periapical radiographs.
- Changes in buccal soft tissue level. [ Time Frame: 18 months and 30 months after implant placement. ]Measured by CAT scan and clinically from a fixed reference point to the mid buccal soft tissue level using a stent.
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
