SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks

Population: Per protocol.

1. Very much improved: Optimal cosmetic result for the implant in this patient 2. Much improved: Marked improvement in appearance from the initial condition but not completely optimal for this patient; touch-up would slightly improve the result 3 - Improved: Obvious improvement in appearance from the initial condition, but touch-up or retreatment is indicated 4 - No change: Appearance essentially the same as the original condition 5 - Worse: Appearance worse than the original condition
