A Comparison of Esthetic Features of Pre-existing Natural Tooth Versus Post-Implant Restoration in the Esthetic Zone: A Retrospective 12-month Follow-up.

CONCLUSION: This study analyzed various periodontal and peri-implant soft and hard tissue parameters, and a new index system, EIND, was proposed. This index could be used to collect the esthetic-related parameters for pre-extraction treatment planning and provide valuable information for esthetic risk assessment.
