The results of this study indicate that creeping attachment (i.e., soft tissue recovery) might occur within 2 months after IL. The study suggests that flapless implant surgery provides esthetic soft tissue results in single-tooth implants either immediately or delayed loaded. Other long-term randomized controlled clinical trials with a large sample size and comparison group (i.e., implant surgery with flap) are recommended to verify the conclusions drawn in this preliminary study.

A favorable response was observed when Putty P15 was applied to extraction sockets, suggesting that it may be useful for alveolar ridge preservation prior to dental implant placement.
