Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the aesthetic outcome single implants in extraction sockets and healed ridges anterior maxilla by means pink score/white score ( PES / WES ) index. Materials methods This retrospective based on data from 103 patients (43 males, 60 females) aged 24–65 years (mean age 41.4 ± 13.8 years) who had been successfully treated with a implant maxilla, four different clinical centres. Forty‐two 46.5 15.1 were fresh post‐extraction socket (immediate treatment, IIT ), while 61 38.0 11.8 site (conventional CIT ). Two independent calibrated examiners applied index single‐tooth restorations, respectively 3 months after placement. Results A few biological (4.8%) prosthetic (8.7%) complications reported. Both yielded satisfactory outcomes. At delivery final restoration, 16.6 2.6 15.7 3.0 reported for , respectively: difference not statistically significant. higher decrease observed over time. years, 16.4 2.8 15.2 3.3 seemed yield better outcomes young (≤30 years), placed central incisor/cuspid areas, presence bone contouring. Conclusions immediate conventional single‐implant treatment can outcomes, when performed experienced clinicians well‐selected cases. Further studies are needed confirm these results.
