The change in mucosal level was expressed as a percentage of the length of the reference central incisor.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Significant recession of the mesial papilla (\u22126.2% \u00b1 6.8%), distal papilla (\u22127.4% \u00b1 7.5%), and facial mucosa (\u22124.6% \u00b1 6.6%) between surgical placement and 1 year was observed (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.001). Recession was greater for implants placed facially within the extraction socket compared to those placed lingually (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.009). Sites with gingival margins initially coronal achieved mucosal levels close to the line of symmetry with the contralateral tooth. Sites initially level or apical failed to reach the line of symmetry and remained receded. For sites with initially level gingival margins, recession &gt;10% occurred at six of 25 thin biotype sites compared to two of 19 thick biotype sites. Acceptable outcomes were achieved in the majority of sites; between 10% and 20% of sites had suboptimal esthetic results.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Immediate implant placement without elevation of surgical flaps is associated with recession of the marginal mucosa that may fall within the threshold of visually detectable change. The orofacial position of the implant shoulder and the tissue biotype are important contributory factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2009.080243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,30]],"date-time":"2008-12-30T06:33:32Z","timestamp":1230618812000},"page":"163-172","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":152,"title":["Immediate
