Abstract | Statement of problem: Unscrewing the healing abutment can affect the soft tissue integration and apical migration of the biological width, which may compromise the integrity of peri-implant soft tissue. Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to determine the level of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) detected in the peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) between the test group (1-time abutment) and control group (healing abutment) for implant-retained mandibular overdentures. Material and methods: Two dental implants were installed in the canine regions of the mandibular ridge of 18 healthy completely edentulous participants using 2-stage surgery and a delayed loading protocol. At the second stage surgery, the implant on the right side was exposed, and a healing abutment was screwed onto the implant (control group), while on the left side the definitive ball abutment was screwed onto the implant (test group). After 10 days, the healing abutment in the control group was unscrewed and replaced with the definitive ball abutment. For both groups, the ball attachment was directly picked up to incorporate the attachment house to the mandibular denture. PICF samples were collected from the participants at 7 days, 3 months, and 6 months after overdenture use. Statistical analysis was done with an independent samples t test (α=.05). Results: A significant difference was found in the volume of PICF and the level of GAG between the test and control groups at the 7-day evaluation period (P=.008, P=.002, respectively), while the volumes of PICF and the levels of GAG were not significantly different (P>.05) at the other evaluation periods. Conclusions: The 1-time abutment protocol offers biochemical and economic advantages compared with the conventional method of using the healing abutment before placement of the definitive attachment for an implant-retained overdenture with single attachments. |
