Rehabilitation of Postextractive Socket in the Premaxilla: A 12-Year Study on 27 Titanium Plasma Spray Resorbable Calcium Phosphate Coated Single Implants

Conclusion: Although a good preservation of the residual bone tissue in postextraction implant sites treated with keratinized epithelial connective tissue grafts was observed, the low number of treated cases does not allow us to propose this experimental protocol to all cases of bone defects but it certainly represents a new option. Further studies on a greater number of patients and using implants with different surface characteristics should be conducted for a better understanding of the indications of the proposed treatment.
