NCT01620918
Brief Summary:
* Baseline:
* Standard preparation of the osteotomy
* Placement of 2 dental implants
* On each implant one of both types of healing abutments is placed
* Suturing
* Standardized radiography to measure bone-levels at baseline
* Digital impression of the surrounding gingiva with an intra-oral scanner (a non-invasive method) to measure the baseline level of the gingiva
* 2 weeks after Baseline:
o Removal of the sutures
* 4 weeks after Baseline:
* A 2nd digital impression of the soft tissue with an intra-oral scanner
* Collecting crevicular fluid by placing paperpoints in the provided apertures in the healing abutments for 60 seconds without bleeding.
* Measuring of the pocket depth in the provided apertures in the healing abutments with an automated probe.
* Removal of the Healing Abutment with the attached soft tissue en-bloque.
* Placement of a new, regular, Encode Healing Abutment.
* 10 weeks after Baseline:
* Start of standard prosthetic procedure. In this study we expect that the soft tissue attachment (i.e. the gingival attachment) will be stronger and earlier achieved at the nano-structured healing abutments than at the normal, uncoated healing abutments. This would lead to a more stable soft tissue complex on the long rung and thus providing a more predictable aesthetic outcome. Secondly, a stronger attachment would mean a stronger barrier against micro-organisms and might influence the occurrence of peri-implantitis.
