The aim of this study is to evaluate clinically and radiographically soft tissue around single-implant crowns and peri-implant bone resorption respectively by using zirconia implants or titanium implants in horizontally deficient partially edentulous ridges.
Experimental: Main treatment group Zirconia implants will be placed in a prosthetically guided position in horizontally deficient ridges in main treatment group. Active Comparator: Control group Titanium implants will be placed in a prosthetically guided position in horizontally deficient ridges in control group.

RECRUITINGEvaluation of the soft tissue around single implant crowns
Pink Esthetic Score (0-2; increasing scores means improvement in clinical outcomes) is used to evaluate the soft tissue around single implant crowns that might change over time at 3 months and 6 months.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
Peri-implant bone resorption
measured in terms of vertical bone levels present mesial and distal to implant which will be measured by comparing CBCT
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
Implant survival rate
Implant survival rate before and after prosthetic loading based on Criteria: A) Persistent pain or dysesthesia B) Peri-implant infection with suppuration C) Absence of mobility D) Absence of continuous peri-implant radiolucency, but with peri-implant bone resorption assessed using dichotomous scale.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
