Round  1

Reviewer 1 Report

the title and the abstract should indicate that the study is IN VITRO

The third conclusion is a personal opinion, it does not come from the results.

Author Response

Thank you very much for your time and advice.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript fits into the scope of the journal. The topic is interesting and the results are well presented. 

- Please clarify in table 1 legend what represent a,b and c  letters

- Please on table 2 use asterisks or letters to indicate the statistical differences 

The manuscript could be suitable for the publication after these minor changes.

Thank you very much for your time and advice.

Reviewer 3 Report

The main concern with the study is the retention of the 'so called' healing cap, which is supposed to be used to protect the abutment during the healing phase. Please provide some details if any of the provisional restorations came off/dislodged during the healing phase.

Could the authors please clarify the implants used in the study (details - 1 piece or 2 piece). 

Also, some clinical images should be included after implant placement with the abutment, as it is difficult for the readers to see how the healing cap is attached to the implant. 

Please provide some more details in the text about the healing cap (protect cap) used in the current study.

I don't believe that you can comment on the beneficial effect of damped forces on implant during the healing phase unless it has been proven. What I mean here is that it is a proven fact that we should avoid loading the implant during the initial healing phase, but does minor load during healing stimulate the bone formation has not been shown in the literature. 

Please provide details about the restorative scheme used for the provisional restoration (centric and excursive contacts) used in both the anterior and the posterior areas.

The discussion section needs some explanation and comparison with the currently used technique for provisionalising implant using the temporary abutment and screw/cement retained crown.
