Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Conventional second stage surgery  In the conventional technique, a mid crestal incision will be given at the implant site followed by elevation of a full thickness flap on both buccal and lingual aspect, following which the cover screw will be unscrewed and a suitable gingival former will be placed along with sutures to approximate the flap. The procedure takes 30 mins to execute and would be performed at baseline, the follow-up would be for 6 months.  
Intervention  Minimally invasive buccal roll technique  The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia in both the groups, in the test group a split thickness flap will be outlined according to the dimensions of the underlying coverscrew, further a full thickness flap will be raised from the lingual aspect of the outline and tunnelled on the buccal aspect. The flap will then be tucked in to the pouch on the buccal aspect followed by placement of a suitable gingival former. The procedure takes 30 mins to execute and would be performed at baseline, the follow-up would be for 6 months.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Introduction
Problem statement - The posterior  mandibular sites are found to have thinner peri-implant tissues when compared to the other sites which can make them more prone to recession and collapse of the ridge contour around the implant, affecting the esthetics and peri-implant mucosal health.
Research question - Is a minimally invasive buccal roll technique better in comparison to conventional second stage technique in maintaining the natural ridge contour of peri-implant soft tissues in the mandibular posterior region?
Research hypotheses - Minimally invasive buccal roll technique is effective in maintaining the ridge contour and esthetics of peri-implant soft tissue in the mandibular posterior region compared to control group.

Objectives of the study
Primary objective To assess and compare the following outcomes after a minimally invasive buccal roll/conventional second stage surgery – Bucco-lingual ridge width (RW) Width of keratinized mucosa (KTW) Thickness of keratinized mucosa (MT)
Secondary objectives To assess and compare the following outcomes after a minimally invasive buccal roll/conventional second stage surgery – 1. Alveolar crest height 2. Probing depth 3. Bleeding on probing 4. Pink esthetic score 

Study procedure
The patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups of test (Modified buccal roll) and control (Conventional second stage) by computer generated number. The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia in both the groups, in the test group a split thickness flap will be outlined according to the dimensions of the underlying coverscrew, further a full thickness flap will be raised from the lingual aspect of the outline and tunnelled on the buccal aspect. The flap will then be tucked in to the pouch on the buccal aspect followed by placement of a suitable gingival former. In the control group, a mid crestal incision will be given at the implant site followed by elevation of a full thickness flap on both buccal and lingual aspect, following which the cover screw will be unscrewed and a suitable gingival former will be placed along with sutures to approximate the flap.
