The influence of titanium base abutments on peri-implant soft tissue inflammatory parameters and marginal bone loss: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Some techniques in implant dentistry have been suggested that may potentially alter peri-implant soft and hard tissue parameters.

Purpose: To evaluate the peri-implant soft tissue inflammatory parameters and crestal bone loss around titanium base abutments.

Materials And Methods: Fifty two implants were placed in 21 patients and restored by single crowns.
