Abstrakt: Objective: To evaluate by clinical and radiographic bi- and tridimensional means the soft and hard tissues alterations following immediate implant placement and loading in postextraction sockets in the anterior maxilla. Materials and methods: Ten patients, treated with immediate-loaded implants in the maxillary central or lateral incisors, were evaluated in this study. Clinical parameters were evaluated in standardized pictures taken at baseline (immediately after), and 1, 3, and 6 months after provisional implant-supported single crown placement. Bi- and tridimensional radiographic parameters were evaluated from standardized digital periapical radiographies and from CBCT images. Results: The volume of the buccal bone wall covering the central millimeter of the implant was also assessed in the CBCT images. The variation for all clinical, bi- and tridimensional parameters assessed was non-statistically significant. There was 94% maintenance of bone volume. Conclusions: The parameters assessed showed good clinical, bi- and tridimensional radiographic stability of soft and hard tissues for implants immediately placed and loaded in aesthetic zones.
