This novel study assessed the preservation of the dental papillae through PET in adjacent anterior region, in combination with a novel kind of definitive hybrid abutment-SKY elegance, which enables the immediate restoration of the implants using the One-Time-Therapy protocol i.e. no abutment change. Pre-operative volumetric analysis was compared with the post-operative data to tabulate the overall loss of tissue volume from the buccal aspect. The results showed good maintenance of the alveolar contours around adjacent implants. When adjacent teeth are missing in the aesthetic zone, the PET could be an alternative to extensive grafts.
