Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Control of biting behavior measured using a custom-built apparatus (Umeå University, Physiology section, IBM, Umeå, Sweden) invented to measure bite forces during hold-and-split tasks before and after the implant treatment 2. Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) of biting measured using a questionnaire before and after the implant treatment	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Aesthetics evaluated by patients and professionals using questionnaires and a visual analogue rating scale (VAS) and Pink Esthetic Score (PES)/White Esthetic Score (WES) before and after the implant treatment	—
