About

This research aims to evaluate the effect of anodic oxidation of implant abutment collar on the peri-implant soft tissue health.

Full description

A randomized controlled clinical trial will be implemented on 10 implant abutments in five patients, each having 2 dental implants in the same quadrant. Abutments with standard silver collars will be divided into two groups: Group 1 (test group) will undergo anodic oxidation of the abutment collar changing it into pink color. Group 2 (control group) untreated abutments.

Enrollment: 28 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 25 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Healthy patients with good oral hygiene.
• Having two inserted dental implants in the same quadrant with healing abutments.
• Implants with at least 1 mm peri-implant soft tissue height.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with systemic conditions interfering with soft tissue health.
• Heavy smoking.
• Patients with inflamed gingival tissue or bad oral hygiene.
• Diseased gingival tissue that needs periodontal treatment.
