What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the use of customized healing abutments made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) compared to traditional titanium healing abutments in patients receiving dental implants. The study aims to assess whether PEEK abutments, due to their biological and aesthetic properties, can better support peri-implant soft tissue healing with reduced plaque accumulation. This trial involves adult patients missing a tooth in the esthetic zone and receiving guided delayed implant surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives a customized PEEK healing abutment placed at the same time as the implant surgery, while the other group receives a customized titanium healing abutment under the same conditions. Both treatments use guided implant surgery for precise implant placement, and the customized abutments are designed to match the patient's gingival architecture to encourage optimal soft tissue healing. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor changes in the peri-implant soft tissue at 1 month and 4 months after implantation, before the prosthetic procedures. Clinical evaluations and biochemical tests will measure tissue health and bacterial load around the implant. Participants will be followed closely during these periods to observe healing progress and the effects of the different abutment materials on tissue condition.
