Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the esthetic score and the satisfaction of the patients by temporary crown gingival shaping performed during the maxillary anterior single-tooth implant second-stage surgery. Methods: 30 patients with single anterior teeth loss were selected according to the inclusion criteria before surgery. The temporary crown was used to shape the gingiva during the second-stage surgery. Permanent restoration was completed after 3-6 months. The pink esthetic score (PES) and white esthetic score (WES) were used for aesthetically evaluation 1 year after permanent restoration and the visual analog scale (VAS) was used for subjective satisfaction of patients. The correlation between PES and WES, VAS and PES, and VAS and WES was analyzed. Results: The average score of PES and WES were (8.03+0.85) and (8.10+0.40). PES value and WES value were significantly positive correlated (r=0.90,P<0.01). The average score of VAS was (8.68+0.58). VAS was significantly positive correlated with PES value and WES value (r=0.93,P<0.01; r=0.81, P<0.01). Conclusion: Permanent restoration of the maxillary anterior single-tooth implant with temporary crown shaping during second-stage surgery can achieve good aesthetic effect and high satisfaction. There is a high correlation between PES and WES, VAS and PES, and VAS and WES.
