Measurement on buccopalatal cross-sectional images preoperatively and 1 year after connection of the definitive prosthesis. a Virtual implant models were used as the measurement reference preoperatively. The horizontal distance from the implant surface to the facial bone surface (BW) and the horizontal width of the soft tissue (GW) were measured at the implant platform level (PL0) and 2 mm apical to the implant platform (PL2). The implant-socket gap (the distance from the virtual implant surface to the root surface) (DW) and the horizontal width of the facial alveolar bone (BW’) were measured at PL0. b The horizontal width of bone (BW) and soft tissue (GW) were measured at PL0 and PL2 1 year after connection of the definitive prosthesis
