Implants serve as a foundation for prosthetic support. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare buccolingual and interproximal crestal bone changes after delayed and immediate platform switched, acid etched implant (SLA), without the use of graft or barrier membrane clinically as well as radio graphically. 14 implants were included in study and clinical and radiographic parameters i.e. buccolingual bone width (BLW), interproximal crestal bone height (CBH), Keratinized mucosa index score (KMI), Jemt papilla fill index score (PFI), probing attachment levels (PAL) were analyzed at baseline, 3 months and 6 months in immediate and delayed implant group (A,B).
