Abstract:Objectives: A randomized controlled trial was performed to assess soft tissue cell adhesion to implant titanium abutments subjected to different cleaning procedures and test if plasma cleaning can enhance cell adhesion at an early healing time.
Study Design: Eighteen patients with osseointegrated and submerged implants were included. Before re-opening, 18 abutments were divided in 3 groups corresponding to different clinical conditions with different cleaning processes: no treatment (G1), laboratory customiza… Show more
“…The clinical significance of this study is limited by the small sample size but is in accordance with a previously published study (Canullo et al. ,b). In the present study, the authors tried to perform additional techniques to analyze the soft tissue (histologic sampling) to improve the preliminary results of the published literature (Canullo et al.…”

“…The results of the present in vivo study confirm the outcomes of the already published interim study (Canullo et al. ,b), where 18 patients were treated with dental implants and 18 abutments were connected at the second surgery. In both studies, the area occupied by cells was higher in the plasma group.…”

“…However, a lack of evidence is still present in the literature regarding the clinical relevance of plasma cleaning procedure on dental implant abutments in “ in vivo ” studies (Canullo et al. ,b).…”
Plasma of argon may promote cell adhesion and positively influence collagen fiber orientation. A greater sample is necessary to confirm these preliminary results.
