Brief summary

This study evaluates the efficacy of Mutli-Im® transepithelial components in the inhibition of bacterial adhesion. The control group will be the Multi-Im® transepithelial component with the conventional surface (Multi-IM® Machined) and the experimental group will be the Multi-Im transepithelial components with the Ti-Golden® surface (Multi-Im Golden) or with the nanogolden surface (Multi-Im® nanogolden). Periodontal indices and biofilformation will be assessed during 2 months after implant loading. Metagenomic analysis and PCR technique will be implemented to assess the biofilm formation.

Interventions

DEVICEMulti-Im Machined transepithelial component.

Once the implant is placed, the implant loading protocol will be decided following the clinical criteria. When implant loading is to be done, then the Multi-IM machined transepithelial component is connected to the implant.

DEVICEMulti-Im Nanogolden transepithelial component

Once the implant is placed, the implant loading protocol will be decided following the clinical criteria. When implant loading is to be done, then the Multi-IM Nanogolden transepithelial component is connected to the implant.

DEVICEMulti-Im Ti-Golden transepithelial component

Once the implant is placed, the implant loading protocol will be decided following the clinical criteria. When implant loading is to be done, then the Multi-IM Ti-Golden transepithelial component is connected to the implant.
