Change in Ridge Dimension
Change in ridge dimension is calculated as the value at 6 months minus the value at baseline. To take ridge dimension measurements, impressions were taken at baseline and 6 months, models were made from these impressions, the models were scanned, and then ridge dimension of scanned models was assessed using software. Ridge dimension was assessed at (and at 1mm increments below) the initial soft tissue margin.
Time frame: baseline, 6 months after surgery
Change in Ridge Dimension
Change in ridge dimension is calculated as the value at 12 months minus the value at baseline. To take ridge dimension measurements, impressions were taken at baseline and 12 months, models were made from these impressions, the models were scanned, and then ridge dimension of scanned models was assessed using software. Ridge dimension was assessed at (and at 1mm increments below) the initial soft tissue margin.
Time frame: baseline, 12 months after surgery
Change in Gingival Level
Change in gingival level is calculated as the value at 6 months minus the value at baseline. Gingival level is measured at three sites: mesial, mid-buccal and distal sites. Gingival level is measured from a notch on a custom fabricated stent to the mucosal margin.
Time frame: baseline, 6 months after surgery
Change in Gingival Thickness
Change in gingival thickness is calculated as the value at 6 months minus the value at baseline. Gingival thickness is measured using a stoppered endodontic file (#30) penetrating through the facial soft tissue 3 millimeters (mm) below the mid-buccal peri-implant mucosal margin.
Time frame: baseline, 6 months after surgery
Change in Width of Keratinized Gingiva
Change in width of keratinized gingiva is calculated as the value at 6 months minus the value at baseline.

Change in Alveolar Bone Level (Marginal)
Change in alveolar bone level is calculated as the value at 6 months minus the value at baseline. The bone level measurement, taken from the standardized periapical radiographs, was defined as the distance from the first bone to implant contact (IB) at either the mesial or the distal aspect of the implant to the implant platform. Specifically, marginal bone level was defined as the distance between the vertical implant bone level (IB; the first bone to implant contact) and implant platform (IP). Crestal bone level was defined as the distance between the interproximal crestal bone level (IC) and implant platform (IP).
Time frame: baseline, 6 months after surgery
Change in Alveolar Bone Level (Crestal)
Change in alveolar bone level is calculated as the value at 6 months minus the value at baseline. The bone level measurement, taken from the standardized periapical radiographs, was defined as the distance from the first bone to implant contact (IB) at either the mesial or the distal aspect of the implant to the implant platform. Specifically, crestal bone level was defined as the distance between the interproximal crestal bone level (IC) and implant platform (IP).
Time frame: baseline, 6 months after surgery
Change in Bone Dimension
Change in bone dimension is calculated as the value at 6 months minus the value at baseline. To measure bone dimensions, bone dimensions on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were assessed using software. Bone dimension was assessed at the initial buccal crestal bone level (and at 1mm increments below).
