Papillary fill response in single‐tooth implants using abutments of different geometry

Abstract

A concave abutment does not exhibit a better fill of the papilla compared with a straight abutment in single-tooth implant placement using a delayed protocol in the esthetic zone after 12 months of function.

Marginal soft tissue stability around conical abutments inserted with the one abutment‐one time protocol after 5 years of prosthetic loading

“…Additionally, restoration contour has recently been associated with an increased risk for peri‐implantitis . Patil et al on the other way, analyzing the outcome of the papillary fill response and pink esthetic score in single‐tooth implants using conventional and concave abutments did not find any difference but they did not analyzed the soft tissue thickness …”

“…34 Patil et al on the other way, analyzing the outcome of the papillary fill response and pink esthetic score in single-tooth implants using conventional and concave abutments did not find any difference but they did not analyzed the soft tissue thickness. 35 In the present study, two different abutments were used (fully convergent and hybrid abutment). In fact, both abutments presented the same convergent shoulderless configuration aimed to allow more space for soft tissues.…”

Stock Versus CAD/CAM Customized Zirconia Implant Abutments – Clinical and Patient‐Based Outcomes in a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

“…Stock abutments are cylindrical or divergent at most, which is clearly different from the emergence profile of natural teeth, hence providing compromised support to the proximal and labial peri‐implant soft tissues. Rompen and colleagues experimented with a stock, gingivally converging abutment design, which resulted in the formation of extra soft tissues, but his findings could not be confirmed by others …”

Anterior single implants with different neck designs: 5 Year results of a randomized clinical trial

“…First, it might be that the difference in marginal bone resorption between the scalloped group and the other groups (around 1 mm), caused a clinical effect too little to be observed with the aforementioned indices. Second, regarding the volume of the papilla, it should be realized that the level of the papilla is positively correlated to the bone level of the teeth next to the implant . In our study, only single‐tooth implants were included with natural teeth as neighbors.…”
