B one level a) prior to implant placement ( 3 months after preservation). b) 1 month after definitive restoration placement. c) 12 months after definitive restoration placement Clinical parameters The Bleeding-index, Gingiva-index and probing depth scores are depicted in Table 3 . There were no significant differences in the parameters between the T 1 and T 12 follow- up periods. Table 3.

A summary of the outcomes is depicted in Table 4 . At T 12 median PES was 6 [4;7] and median WES was 8 [7;9]. There were no significant differences between the T 1 and T 12 a b c
