Immediate Postextractive Implants With and Without Bone Graft: 3-year Follow-up Results From a Multicenter Controlled Randomized Trial

Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of single postextraction immediate implants placed with and without bone grafts in the esthetic maxillary premolar area for 3-year follow-up after loading. Material and Methods: After tooth extraction, 102 patients received 115 immediate dental implants. Patients were randomly allocated to immediate implant placement with (group A: 51) or without (group B: 51) anorganic bovine bone and resorbable collagen barrier. Results: After 3 years (T36), 1 implant failed in each group. Thirty-seven patients showed inflammation and bleeding, 19 mucositis, and 2 periimplantitis. Statistical significant association was found between BOP and mucositis at T12 (P
