Mau JLP, et al. - In this comparative, randomized, prospective, two-center clinical study, investigators evaluated 48 individuals to estimate the clinical and esthetic consequences of 2 distinct bone grafting techniques in early implant placement. They found no significant differences in modified plaque index (mPI), modified sulcular bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD), keratinized mucosa (KM), implant crown length (IC), distance from the implant shoulder radiographic bone-to-implant contact (DIB), pink esthetic score (PES), and white esthetic score (WES) at 1-year implant loading with all 48 implants clinically successful. They concluded stable clinical and esthetic outcomes in early implant placement with contour augmentation after 1 year in autogenous bone plus deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) each combined with a collagen membrane.
