Summary

Contamination of implant abutments could potentially influence the peri-implant tissue inflammatory response. The aim of the present study was to assess the radiographic bone changes around customized, platform switched, abutments placed according to the "one-abutment-one-time" protocol, with and without plasma of argon cleaning treatment.

Conditions

  • Endosseous Dental Implant Failure
  • Alveolar Bone Loss

Interventions

DEVICE

Steam clean

Control group: dental implant abutments underwent cleaning by steam (VAP 1, Zhermark, Cologne, Germany), performed for 5 seconds at 4 megapascal (MPa).

DEVICE

Plasma of Argon

Test group: dental implant underwent argon plasma treatment in a plasma reactor (Diener Electronic, Jettingen, Germany). The treatment conditions were 75 W of power and 1 bar of pressure for 12 minutes.
