This article contains quantitative and qualitative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) collected from nine dental patients, with a single-implant in the maxillary anterior region of the mouth, recruited after obtaining consent documents. The quantitative data were obtained from participants’ demographics, frontal extraoral digital photographs, intraoral scans (IOS) of the maxillary arch, and self-administered questionnaires (where patients judged the overall, appearance, function, and comfort of their single-implant-supported crowns). Objective single-implant aesthetic index mean scores (Pink Esthetic Score/White Esthetic Score [PES/WES]) were obtained after two experienced calibrated clinicians analyzed the photographs and the three-dimensional models generated from the IOS. The self-administered questionnaires used a visual analogue scale (VAS) to obtain the patients’ subjective perceptions. The qualitative data were obtained from in-depth, semi-structured one-to-one interviews. The transcriptions from audio-recorded interview data were managed and coded, with the aid of a Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS). These data were stored in a public repository that can be easily downloaded from a Mendeley data repository (DOI: 10.17632/sv8t6tkvjv.1).

UNSTRUCTURED Assessment of the subjective experiences of individuals with maxillary anterior (i.e., the upper front region of the mouth) single-tooth implants is limited mainly to quantitative measurements on satisfaction with appearance. Interestingly, there is unexplained variability in the relationship between satisfaction and appearance. This will be the first qualitative study on this sector of the population to explore and have a better understanding of their satisfaction with appearance and function, as well as any other patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that could be identified. A qualitative research design using interpretative phenomenology analysis (IPA) will provide an adaptable inductive research approach. The participants will be recruited to obtain consent documents, photographs, digital intraoral scans, and self-administered questionnaires, from them. The transcribed verbatim data from the participants’ audio-recorded in-depth, semi-structured one-to-one interviews will be managed, coded, and analysed thematically aided by a Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software. The IPA will consider the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative (COREQ) guidelines when applicable. The analysis of this study will elucidate the aspects, and the value of these, that influence participant satisfaction at different dental implant treatment stages.
