Baseline selection for evaluation of peri-implant soft tissue changes: a clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To select the optimal baseline for evaluation of peri-implant soft tissue changes among 1, 2, and 3 weeks after definitive crown insertion.

Methods

A total of 22 individuals who required implant restoration were recruited to this study. Each participant received a screw-retained conventional implant restoration. Peri-implant soft tissue was captured by an intraoral scanner and analyzed by 3D analysis software. Soft tissue changes [mucosal margin (MM) and soft tissue thickness (STT)] on the buccal side of implant sites were evaluated at 1, 2, and 3 weeks after definitive crown insertion. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measurement and Tukey's test were used to analyze significant differences between the 3 time points (α=0.05).
