Abstract

Background and aim: Theoretical frameworks, treatment paradigms, and methodologies have all undergone substantial change in Implant dentistry. In this study, the clinical benefits of flapless implant surgery are compared to those of traditional flap implant placement. Methodology: The present study is a prospective split mouth research where parametric observations of the variation in soft tissue and bone morphology, in two major variants of implant surgical techniques, mainly flap elevated implant placement procedure and flapless implant surgical method was done. The study was conducted among the ten participants and split mouth design was used among them. Total of twenty implants were placed in Group 1 [Flapless] and Group 2 [ Flap] respectively. Results: The present study shows almost similar results for both the groups. Statistically significant results were observed for soft tissue thickness, bucco-lingual width and modified bleeding index. Conclusion: The embed dissatisfaction rates were significantly affected by the difference between the two methods (flapless versus flapped). However, when the study groups with a high and low risk of bias were pooled independently, a sensitivity analysis revealed variations, necessitating careful interpretation of the results. There were no statistically significant changes in the incidence of postoperative infection or minor bone loss between open flap surgery versus flapless surgery.
