In this issue, the editor’s choice is the article published in the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, “Immediately versus early placed bone-level-tapered implants supporting all-ceramic crowns on titanium base abutments: 1-year radiographic and pink esthetic outcomes of a multicenter pilot RCT”, authored by Stefan P. Hicklin.
The article addresses survival rates, radiographic, and pink esthetic outcomes of a bone-level-tapered (BLT) implant following immediate or early implant placement. The authors conclude that after one year, immediately and early placed BLT implants exhibit similar bone level changes, ISQ values, and pink esthetic outcomes.
