Evaluation of the Abutment Type Following Oral Implants in Terms of the Surrounding Bone Height

Evaluation of Two Different Types of Abutments on Post-prosthesis Bone Resorption: A Randomized Controlled Clinical and Radiological Trial

Compare two different types of abutments (molded abutments and computer-designed 3D printed abutments) in terms of the amount of bone loss, and depth of periodontal pockets around the implant during different periods.

In the past few years, the number of research conducted on the designs of abutments and materials has increased. Often, the restoration is done over the implant using standard abutments that the implant company prefabricated, but due to the problems facing the dentist from the occurrence of bone absorption, an increase in the depth of the pocket after restoration, other types of abutment design methods have been introduced as needed (molded abutment made by lost wax technique and computer-designed abutment made using a 3D laser printer), those customised abutments were made special for each patient depending on their conditions.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• The presence of non-functional habits such as stridor
• Acute or acute periodontitis, previous loss of implants
