Implant Healing Abutment and Chlorhexidine

Universidad de Murcia100 enrolled

Overview

The work hyposesis is based on the application of a chlorhexidine gel against the non-application on the healing abutments in patients who have received a submerged titanium implant to check its effect on healing and prevention of bacterial plaque accumulation during a period of 1 month.

Once the implants are integrated, and given the consent, the patients will be operated to connect the healing abutments as they come from the manufacturer (Mozo Grau, Ticare®). Patients will follow the study protocol in 2 arms. The random distribution is made prior to assignment following the internet program https://www.random.org

Inflammation 2 = gingiva with slight bleeding during manipulation during unscrewing or screwing of the abutment.
