Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants were rigorously selected using defined inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure comparable baseline oral health and minimize confounding factors. Healthy individuals aged 18 40 years requiring cement-retained implant prostheses in the posterior mandible or maxilla were included. Eligibility required ideal oral hygiene, indicated by no bleeding on probing, and the presence of adjacent natural teeth for digital scan referencing. Only non-smokers with no history of tobacco use were considered.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria involved patients with submerged implants or those unsuitable for abutment-level impressions. Individuals with periodontal disease such as deep pockets, inflammation, or mobility were excluded to avoid interference with soft tissue evaluation. Those with a thin gingival biotype were also excluded due to higher risk of sulcular trauma. Patients with systemic conditions affecting healing or soft tissue behavior, those unwilling or unable to provide informed consent, or who failed to comply with follow-up protocols were excluded according to study withdrawal guidelines.
