The goal of this clinical trail is to evaluate the clinical, radiological and immunological outcomes of the one-piece zirconia abutments (OPZAs) and two-piece zirconia abutments (TPZAs) with friction-fitted titanium bases in single implant crowns in aesthetic region. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the mechanical properties of one-piece zirconia abutments are the same as those of two-piece zirconia abutments. Participants who have two missing teeth in aesthetic region will receive the OPZAs for one restoration and the TPZAs for the other. Researchers will compare OPZAs group (OG) and TPZAs group (TG) to see the clinical, radiological and immunological outcomes of the two.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical, radiological and immunological outcomes of the one-piece zirconia abutments (OPZAs) and two-piece zirconia abutments (TPZAs) with friction-fitted titanium bases in single implant crowns in aesthetic region. Materials and methods: The study is a single center, split-mouth and randomized controlled clinical trial. Eligible sites of patients will be randomly assigned into two groups: OPZAs group (OG) and TPZAs group (TG). Survival rates, mechanical complication rates, bleeding on probing (BOP%), probing depth (PD), modified plaque index (mPI), marginal bone loss (MBL), concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF), and pink esthetics score/white esthetics score (PES/ WES) will be evaluated. Discussion: Results of the present study will help to evaluate the clinical, radiological and immunological outcomes of OPZAs and TPZAs with friction-fitted titanium bases in single implant crowns in aesthetic region and provide evidence for the effects of two types abutments on the health of peri-implant soft and hard tissue.

RECRUITINGMechanical complications rates
Veneer chipping, abutments or implants fracture, screw loosening or fracture and other mechanical complications will be recorded during the 1-year follow-up.
Time frame: 1 year
Survival rates
The survival rate was defined as the percentage of success implants and remained crowns which never been replaced.
Time frame: 1 year
Peri-implant conditions-BOP%
peri-implant conditions included bleeding on probing% (BOP%)
Time frame: 1 year
Peri-implant conditions-PD
pocket probing depth (PD) in mm
Time frame: 1 year
Peri-implant conditions-mPI
modified plaque index (mPI).
Time frame: 1 year
Marginal bone loss (MBL)
Peri-apical radiographs with paralleling technique will be performed on the day of final restorations delivery and 1 year later. The implant length is used as calibration reference. The distance between restoration margin and the most coronal level of implant-bone contact will be recorded. The final result calculate as the mean value of mesial and distal sites. The alteration of the distance between baseline and 1-year follow-up is defined as the MBL.
Time frame: 1 year
Pro-inflammatory cytokines in peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF)
We will collect the patients' PICF with the paper strip (PerioPaper Strips; Oraflow Inc., Smithtown, NY, USA) at 1-year follow-up to access differences in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) between two groups. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) will be used to analyzed PICF and evaluated the concentrations of cytokines. The PICF collection method and cytokines determination referred to Christopher A. Barwacz et al.
Time frame: 1 year
PES
In this study, pink aesthetic score (PES) will be applied for the objective esthetic assessment of the final restoration. We will take patients' intraoral photos by the camera (D70, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) at 1 year follow up. The aesthetic effect will be assessed by two specific dentists independently. They will asked to give scores for variables of PES (Mesial papilla, distal papilla, level of soft-tissue margin, soft-tissue contour, alveolar process and soft-tissue color and texture) and WES (Tooth form, tooth volume/outline, color, surface texture and transparency) with the 0-1-2 scoring system. Final PES/WES is the sum of the two.
Time frame: 1 year
WES
In this study, white esthetic score (WES) will be applied for the objective esthetic assessment of the final restoration. We will take patients' intraoral photos by the camera (D70, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) at 1 year follow up. The aesthetic effect will be assessed by two specific dentists independently. They will asked to give scores for variables of PES (Mesial papilla, distal papilla, level of soft-tissue margin, soft-tissue contour, alveolar process and soft-tissue color and texture) and WES (Tooth form, tooth volume/outline, color, surface texture and transparency) with the 0-1-2 scoring system. Final PES/WES is the sum of the two.
