Factors Affecting Immediate Anterior Implants Esthetics.

April 17, 2026 updated by: Nourhan Gamal, International Dental Contiuing Education

Factors Affecting Immediate Anterior Implants Esthetics . Clinical Retrospective Study

This retrospective cohort study evaluates clinical, surgical, and prosthetic factors associated with early and mid-term outcomes of immediate implant placement in the anterior maxilla. The primary objective is to identify predictors of implant survival and complications (e.g., infection, soft-tissue dehiscence, esthetic failure) within 12 months following placement. Secondary objectives include assessment of peri-implant marginal bone loss, prosthetic complications, and esthetic outcomes (pink esthetic score).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Study design:

Participants:

Subjects who received immediate implant placement in the anterior region (canine to canine) during the study period with at least 12 months follow-up. Expected sample size: approximately 500 patients/implants
