Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study design for this research project will be a single centered, prospective randomized controlled trial. Subjects will be Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Department of Periodontology patients.
Sample Size and Statistical Analysis
There will be up to 22 subjects in each group, with a total of up to 66 subjects in the study. Up to 80 subjects will be enrolled in order to have 66 subjects completed the study. The calculation is based on 2 point difference in VAS pain and discomfort survey to have 80% power, while setting α=0.025 to adjust for the two primary outcomes (pain and discomfort) which gives 19 per each group. However, considering a 15% drop out rate, up to 22 subjects for each group will be recruited.
Data collected for analysis will be 10 point VAS from subjects' survey forms for the primary outcome. And 10 point VAS from esthetic evaluation, gain of keratinized mucosa measured by periodontal probe in millimeters with stent will be data for secondary outcome.
For all variables, normality will be assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. If the assumptions of normality hold, then means and standard deviations will be reported and the relationship between treatment arm and the outcome will be tested using one-way ANOVA. If the assumptions of normality do not hold, then medians and interquartile ranges will be reported and relationships will be tested using the Kruskal-Wallis test. If the initial analyses are significant, then the post hoc pair wise comparisons will be made using either independent sample t-tests or Mann-Whitney U-tests. When patients are lost to follow-up, their information will be excluded from the analyses. To account for the multiple comparisons, the Bonferroni correction will be implemented. Thus, all p-values less than 0.025 will be considered statistically significant. Analyses will be performed using SAS, Version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC).

Apically positioned flap
Standard TUSDM Periodontology Clinic procedures will be followed. Local anesthesia will be achieved. Center of implant fixtures will be located. Crestal incision thru the center of implant fixture will be made. Implant fixture will be uncovered and healing abutment/s will be inserted. Horizontal incision at approximately 0.5mm coronal to buccalmucogingival junction will be made 1 tooth mesial to 1 tooth distal to the treating area.
No vertical incision will be made Gingiva coronal to horizontal incision will remain intact Partial thickness flap will be prepared and displaced apically approximately 7mm from the horizontal incision and secured with sutures.
Prepared surgical area will be measured apico-coronally and mesio-distally.
