complete primary intention healing of the wound dehiscence
complete uneventful healing will be assessed clinically by measuring soft tissue width and thickness using periodontal probe under local anesthesia
Time frame: 3 months
esthetic outcome and patient satisfaction.
esthetic outcome will be measured using pink esthetic score. Pink esthetic score (PES) will be recorded for five variables: "mesial papilla, distal papilla, curvature of the facial mucosa, level of the facial mucosa, and root convexity/soft tissue color and texture at the facial aspect of the implant site". A score of 2, 1, or 0 will be assigned to all five parameters. also patient satisfaction will be recorded using: • (VAS) Visual analogue scale to measure postoperative pain. Pain score reported by the patient. directly through Visual Analogue Scale score (from 0 to 10. 0: no pain, 1: minimal pain, 5: moderate pain, 10: severe pain) which will be recorded after 2 weeks (Yildirim et al., 2017)
Time frame: 3 months
