Popis: |
OBJECTIVES Aim of this study was to compare the soft-tissue response to implant abutments made of titanium, zirconia, zirconia veneered with feldspar ceramics and PEEK by various clinical, histological, microbiological and molecular biological markers in an experimental model. MATERIALS AND METHODS 40 experimental one-piece healing abutments of four different materials were mounted on bone-level implants in 20 volunteering patients (split-mouth design). After a three months period of open healing, clinical parameters at the abutments were assessed and adjacent mucosa was sampled for inflammatory cytokine mRNA-concentrations and histological analysis by a novel method. In addition, PISF-samples were obtained for the analysis of periodonto-pathogenic bacteria counts and active MMP-8 levels. Marginal bone level change was measured by intra oral radiographs. RESULTS Abutments of the different materials did not exhibit significant differences regarding clinical parameters, pathogenic bacteria counts or pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations. Likewise, no significant differences were detected regarding soft tissue morphology or bone level change. Compared to titanium abutments, significantly less mononuclear inflammatory cells were detected in the mucosa at abutments made of zirconia veneered with feldspar ceramics. CONCLUSIONS All examined abutment materials exhibited a similar soft tissue response compared to titanium and histological data did not reveal early signs of elevated inflammation caused by PEEK- and feldspar-veneered zirconia abutments. Due to the short observation period and the small sample size, a final conclusion on the long term suitability of those abutment materials cannot be drawn. However, based on the presented data, we consider further studies on that subject as appropriate. |
