Abstract
BACKGROUND: Intraoral scanner evaluation (3Shape, TRIOS®) of soft tissue thickness around convergent collar implants and shoulderless abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ambispective longitudinal analytical study with a sample size of 26 implants in 17 patients treated in a private dental clinic. Pacients were divided into two groups: Prama Implants or group 1 (n=19) and Shelta implants combined with XA abutment or group 2 (n=7). Thickness changes after one- and two-year follow-up were analyzed. RESULTS: In group 1 baseline mean thickness was 6.53 mm (±1.06) and follow-up mean thickness was 8.06 mm (±0.98), in group 2 initial mean thickness was 7.66 mm (±1.09) and follow-up mean thickness was of 8.42 mm (±1.03). CONCLUSIONS: Biologically guided crowns design seems to significantly increase the soft tissue volumen around convergent morphology implants. Key words:Biologic width, peri-implant soft tissue, marginal bone loss, transmucosal implant, convergent collar, BOPT (biological oriented preparation technique), BOPT abutment, soft tissue stability, intraoral scanner.
