MATERIALS AND METHODS: Post-market, prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study with a primary endpoint of one year. 53 subjects were randomized to receive either immediate implant placement (test group) or delayed implant placement (control group). The mean crestal bone-level changes from implant loading to 12 months post-implant loading were measured using standardized, digital periapical radiographs. Changes in facial plate thickness measured on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, implant success and survival, implant stability, soft tissue changes, patient-centered outcomes, and adverse effects were measured to assess outcomes between the test and control treatments at 12 months post-loading...
