Buccal Prosthetic Contour Angles and Peri-Implant Tissue Changes Around Dental Implants
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Implant-Supported Prosthetic Restoration: Participants included in this retrospective observational cohort study received routine implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation with bone-level dental implants restored using customized abutments and screw-retained or screwmentable prostheses. Prosthetic contour configuration and buccal profile angles at different supraplatform vertical zones (overall emergence angle, 0-2 mm profile angle, and 2-4 mm profile angle above the implant platform) will be evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and radiographic analysis. Clinical and radiographic follow-up data obtained during routine maintenance care up to 1 year after prosthetic loading will be retrospectively analyzed to assess associations between prosthetic contour characteristics and peri-implant hard and soft tissue remodeling.
Study summary
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate the association between buccal prosthetic profile angles at different supraplatform zones and peri-implant tissue changes around bone-level dental implants restored with customized abutments and crowns. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Whether prosthetic profile angles within different vertical zones above the implant platform (0-2 mm and 2-4 mm) demonstrate different associations with marginal bone level changes around dental implants.
Whether buccal prosthetic contour angles at different supraplatform depths are associated with peri-implant soft tissue conditions, including keratinized tissue width and mucosal changes.
Whether peri-implant phenotype-related factors, including mucosal tunnel depth, soft tissue thickness, and buccal bone thickness, are associated with peri-implant tissue remodeling.
Researchers will retrospectively analyze clinical records, intraoral photographs, radiographic images, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans collected during routine implant treatment and follow-up care up to 1 year after prosthetic loading. Buccal prosthetic contour angles will be measured at different vertical zones above the implant platform to evaluate the biologic influence of contour configuration at different peri-implant tissue levels.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Marginal Bone Level Change — Baseline(implant placement) to 1 year after prosthetic loading
Change in peri-implant marginal bone level associated with buccal prosthetic profile angles measured at different supraplatform vertical zones (overall emergence angle, 0-2 mm profile angle, and 2-4 mm profile angle above the implant platform), evaluated using radiographic and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis.
