Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of an inflammatory infiltrate in the peri-implant soft tissue of single-implant crowns supported by either zirconia or titanium abutments in healthy subjects. Serial sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks from peri-implant mucosa of 25 patients were immunohistochemically analyzed for CD3 and CD20 lymphocyte marker expression. The results showed that levels of T cells (CD3) were higher around zirconia than titanium abutments (p
