Abstract: Objective: To compare the esthectic outcome of single implant crowns following immediate implant treatment (IIT) and delayed implant treatment (DIT) in the anterior maxillary. Methods: Forty-two dental implants were included in the study, 20 implants received immediate implant treatment and 22 implants received delayed implant treatment. Intra-oral digital photographs were obtained 6 months after final restoration. Pink esthetic score (PES) and white esthetic score (WES) were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the parameters between two groups. Results: The implant survival of IIT was 95.0% and that of DIT was 100%. There was no significant difference between two groups. Mean values of PES were 12.05±0.97 for IIT and 10.50±1.57 for DIT. Mean values of WES were 8.00±1.41 for IIT and 6.95±1.21 for DIT. Significant differences were found between the two groups in PES and WES. 68.4% of the IIT group showed perfect pink esthetic outcome (PES≥12), but only 22.7% in the DIT group. These values showed statistically significant differences. Conclusion: The IIT group showed a better pink and white esthetic outcome than the DIT group in a short observing period, and they can get comparable implant survival.
