ULTRAWIDE IMPLANTS FOR IMMEDIATE MOLAR EXTRACTION SOCKET VERSUS STANDARD DIAMETER FIXTURES IN HEALED ALVEOLAR RIDGES OF MISSING MOLARS, ONE-YEAR POSTLOADING EVALUATION: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Background: This randomized split-mouth study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of ultrawide immediate implants in fresh extraction sockets of nonrestorable molars.The comparison was made with standard-diameter implants placed in healed ridges of missing molars.After 1 year of functional loading, both groups were assessed for crestal bone changes,
