Summary
This completed trial with 33 patients compared three surgical techniques for exposing dental implants in a second-stage procedure. The goal was to see which method gives the best pink esthetic score, meaning how natural and attractive the gums look around the implant. Participants had implants placed at least 4-6 months earlier and were healthy non-smokers with good oral hygiene.
