Official Title: One-time Abutment Placement Versus 4 Times Abutment Removal on Interproximal Bone Levels and Peri-implant Soft Tissues: a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief Summary:
Introduction: the repeated connection and disconnection of healing abutments during dental implants´ osseointegration has been associated with significant increased peri-implant bone loss, when compared with placing the final prosthetic abutment during implant placement surgery and non-removing it ever again. Previous data from animal studies suggests that the higher the number of removals of the healing abutments, the greater the bone resorption around implants, however the evidence in humans is scarce and…
