Background:-Soft tissue healing around implants has become a focus of attention because it plays a central role in esthetic outcomes. Recovery of the peri-implant soft tissue occurs similarly to that against a tooth after a surgical procedure. This study aims at the association of flap design and wound healing after implant placement. Materials and methods: It is a single centred retrospective study conducted at Saveetha dental college and hospitals, Chennai. Three hundred ninety-two patients who underwent implant placement, predominantly South Indians, were included in the study. The collected data were tabulated under the following parameters - name, age, gender, flap design and wound healing. The data analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 23). The chi-square test and Pearson correlation were done. The chi-square test was used to compare the data and checked for the distributions at 0.05 level of significance for the effect of statistical significance. Results:-The study results showed an association between gender and wound healing, males had better-wound healing compared to females, and younger adults had better-wound healing, and the patients with full-thickness flap had better-wound healing and were statistically significant (p<0.005) Conclusion:Within study limits, it was concluded that patients with full thickness flap had better wound healing and association was found to be statistically significant.
