Experimental design. (a) Scheme illustrating the experimental design of the study and the main procedures performed over time in each experimental group. (b–d) Extraction of the upper incisor and clinical aspect of the dental socket after extraction, prior to installation of the titanium dental implant. (e–g) Dental implant being installed in the dental socket with the aid of the digital key and its posterior covering by soft tissues. (h–j) Clinical aspect of the dental implant after reopening and coupling the transmucosal healing screw. (k–l) Installation of the cotton thread in the peri-implant sulcus. (m) accumulation of biofilm on the cotton thread around the dental implant after five weeks of its installation.
