Inflammation
Interventions
Device: dental implants
Device: Titanium Abutments
Device: cad-cam acrylic abutments
Device: Zirconia abutments
Procedure: Subcrestal

Brief Summary

In patients that require a dental implant, does zirconia compared to titanium, or cad-cam acrylic abutments, provide less inflammation, marginal bone loss or infection during the osseointegration period ?

Detailed Description

Place dental Implants and zirconia, titanium, acrylic or cad-cam acrylic abutments, torque to 20 n/cm2 Evaluate Changes in inflammatory levels from T0 (baseline) to T7-12 weeks (measure intermediate points at T0 (baseline),,T1-8 Weeks and T2-12 weeks) Also evaluate outcomes marginal bone loss, gingival height levels and osseointegration

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gingival Inflammatory Changes from baseline to 12 weeksMeasure - T0 Implant installation T1- 1week post-surgery T2-two weeks T3-3weeks T4-4weeks T5-6weeks T6-8weeks T7-12 weeks

measure the amount of cytokines and interleukines (interleukin-8 (IL-8), macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1 beta), interleukin-1 (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)), around different implant abutment materials, zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gingival height12 weeks post-implant installation

measure with periodontal probe distance from implant platform to the most coronal point of gingival margin mesial, distal, buccal and lingual,in zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic

Marginal Bone Lossmeasured at 12 weeks post-implant installation

Parallel periapical standardized radiographs to measure bone position in relation to implant platform, in zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic

Osseointegration12 weeks post-implant installation

compare survival rate of dental implants rehabilitated with zirconia,titanium, acrylic, and cad-cam acrylic abutments

Height from gingiva to abutment12 weeks post implant installation

height from gingival margin to most coronal point of the abutment in zirconia, titanium, acrylic and acrylic cad-cam abutments
