Overview

This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate, clinically, radiographically, and digitally, the volumetric changes occurring during the early healing period after implant treatment in patients with tooth loss in the posterior regions of the jaws, focusing on the processes of osseointegration and biological width formation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Linear and volumetric changes in the tissue

Linear and volumetric changes in the tissue resulting from the alignment of scan data obtained at four different time points.

Time frame: Preoperative and postoperative 2nd, 4th, and 16th months

Secondary Outcomes

Keratinized mucosa width (from the edentulous ridge)

Keratinized tissue measured from the mid-buccal of the edentulous area using a periodontal probe.

Time frame: Preoperative and postoperative 2nd month

Keratinized mucosa width (from the gingival margin of the dental implant-supported prosthesis)

Keratinized tissue measured from the gingival margin of the dental implant-supported prosthesis to the mucogingival junction using a periodontal probe.

Time frame: Postoperative 4th and 16th months

Mucosal thickness (from the edentulous ridge)

Mucosal thickness measured from the midpoint of the edentulous area using a periodontal probe.

Time frame: Preoperative and postoperative 2nd month

Mucosal thickness (from the facial aspect of the edentulous ridge)

Mucosal thickness measured at the mid-buccal of the edentulous area, from the midpoint between the mucogingival junction and 2 mm apical to the gingival margin of the adjacent tooth, using a endodontic spreader.

Time frame: Preoperative and postoperative 2nd month

Mucosal thickness (from 3 mm apical to the gingival margin of the implant-supported prosthesis)

Mucosal thickness measured 3 mm apical to the gingival margin of the implant-supported prosthesis using a endodontic spreader.

Time frame: Postoperative 4th and 16th months
