Comparison of findings at the time of clinical reentry and preoperative photographs and measurements yielded an overall success rate of 97.0% in the treatment of dehisced or fenestrated implants or fixtures placed in immediate extraction sockets. Success was defined as the presence of regenerated hard tissue covering all previously exposed implant surfaces (complete success) or as the presence of two threads or 2 mm or less of residual dehiscence (partial success).
