Various studies can be found in the English literature comparing IL to DL protocol, few of which used the flapless approach while few used cylindrical implants or were confined to maxillary anterior region. Furthermore, a perusal of literature revealed no study which used RVG for radiographic evaluation and evaluated the morbidity at the implant site in normal healthy adult population. Hence this study would help determine whether the IL protocol is on par with DL protocol, so as to reduce patient waiting time, prevent space closure and provide early patient satisfaction from an aesthetic stand point.
