What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if vertical position of the dental implant will affect the bone around the implant in place of a missing tooth that happens to be bounded by two natural teeth. It will also measure esthetics and patient satisfaction. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does vertical implant position below the crest of the bone lead to less marginal bone loss? Will it affect implant survival as well as quality of soft tissue, esthetics and patient satisfaction? Participants will: Have an implant placed at the bone level or 2 mm below the bone level Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups, radiographs, and readings
