The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) for replacing single missing upper central incisors, addressing the gap in research regarding specific tooth types and their esthetic outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Methods:\u00a0<\/strong>This retrospective study included adult patients with a single missing upper central incisor replaced by NDIs. Exclusion criteria included patients who lost adjacent teeth during follow-up and patients with non-loaded implants. The primary outcome was peri-implant bone stability, while secondary outcomes included implant survival, technical complications, patient satisfaction, and esthetic evaluation using the Pink Esthetic Score (PES) and the White Esthetic Score (WES). Descriptive statistical analysis was performed.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Results:\u00a0<\/strong>A total of 64 NDIs were placed in 64 patients (mean age 55 \u00b1 15 years; 40 females, 24 males). Implant diameters were 3.3 and 3.5 mm, with lengths ranging from 6.5 to 11.0 mm. The mean follow-up period was 42 \u00b1 19 months. Marginal bone loss was -0.7 \u00b1 0.9 mm mesially and -0.5 \u00b1 0.7 mm distally. No implant failures were recorded. Esthetic outcomes were satisfactory, with a mean PES of 7.0 \u00b1 2.6 and a mean WES of 7.9 \u00b1 2.0.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Conclusions:\u00a0<\/strong>NDIs demonstrated high survival rates, marginal bone stability, and acceptable esthetic outcomes in the replacement of single upper central incisors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Keywords:\u00a0<\/strong>Blood coagulation; Implant surface design; Osseointegration; Protein adsorption; Titanium implants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Figures<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; content_text_aligment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"qodef-image-gallery qodef-grid-list qodef-disable-bottom-space  qodef-ig-grid-type qodef-four-columns qodef-tiny-space  qodef-image-behavior-lightbox\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-inner qodef-outer-space\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image qodef-item-space\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-ig-image-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qodef-ig-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.btitrainingcenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dentistry-13-00144-g001.jpg\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto[image_gallery_pretty_photo-403]\" title=\"&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1.&lt;\/strong&gt; Periapical radiograph showing the measurement of marginal bone level.
