Summary
Objective of the present study was to assess the peri-implant soft tissue profiles between argon plasma pre-treated (PT) and non-treated (NPT) abutments by comparing clinical and histological parameters 2 months after abutment placement.
Detailed description
Patients that need implant supported restoration were recruited for this study. At baseline a specific abutment was screwed at 20 N.Two months following healing abutment placement clinical measurements were evaluated. Endopoints of the study: Histological outcomes at 2 using traditional histological staining (ematossilin/eosin) Immunohistological outcomes at 2 using different stainings. Postoperative complications. Comparison between the histological outcomes and the preoperative clinical evaluation of the sites

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | Argon plasma pre-treated abutment insertion | abutments allocated to the test group were placed in an Argon plasma reactor (Diener Electronic GmbH, Jettingen, Germany) for decontamination and activation. In order to restrict any post-treatment contamination; abutments were inserted immediately after the end of the plasma process. The reactor was set at 75 W of power and -10 MPa of pressure for 12 min. |
| PROCEDURE | abutment insertion | the abutments assigned to the control group were screwed onto the implants without receiving argon plasma pretreatment |
