One of the possible options in this matter is modification with hydroxyl ion. Materials and Methods: Forty implants with the diameters 3.5 and 4.0 mm were inserted as a single missing tooth restoration protocol in the frontal aspect of the maxilla. All implants were loaded early in a 4 week period. Prior to and during the surgery, the following indices were considered: height of keratinized tissue, the thickness of soft tissue, and the initial level of bone tissue. After 12 months, the implant and the tissues in its direct vicinity were evaluated once more with the following indices: marginal bone loss (MBL), height of keratinized tissue (HKT), probing pocket depth (PPD), pink and white aesthetics scores (PES, WES), as well as pain sensations combined with the procedure (VAS). All results were related to the diameter of the implant and thickness of periodontal biotype. Results: High aesthetic outcomes were reported regardless of soft tissue thickness and implant diameter. The VAS score was higher for the 4.0 implant group, and the thickness of soft tissue had no influence on VAS. In case of implantation in thin or soft tissue, higher MBL levels were reported (0.26 mm), while in case of a thick phenotype, MBL was 0.06 mm. Conclusions: Hydrophilic surface implants can be used for a protocol of early functional occlusal loading. The initial thickness of soft tissue does not influence aesthetic outcomes and does not raise pain perception, although it may elevate crestal bone resorption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma14216353","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,24]],"date-time":"2021-10-24T22:07:11Z","timestamp":1635113231000},"page":"6353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Aesthetic Outcomes of Early Occlusal Loaded SLA Dental Implants with Hydroxyl Ion Modified Surface\u2014A 12 Months Prospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Maciej","family":"Krawiec","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Surgery Department, Wroclaw Medical University, Krakowska St. 26, 54-207 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2353-3198","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"Hadzik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Surgery Department, Wroclaw Medical University, Krakowska St. 26, 54-207 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cyprian","family":"Olchowy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Surgery Department, Wroclaw Medical University, Krakowska St. 26, 54-207 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8943-0549","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marzena","family":"Dominiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Surgery Department, Wroclaw Medical University, Krakowska St. 26, 54-207 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Kubasiewicz-Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Surgery Department, Wroclaw Medical University, Krakowska St. 26, 54-207 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"347","DOI":"10.11607\/prd.5256","article-title":"Influence of Implant Placement Depth and Soft Tissue Thickness on Crestal Bone Stability Around Implants with and Without Platform Switching: A Comparative Clinical Trial","volume":"41","author":"Zukauskas","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
