Brief summary
Compare two different types of abutments (molded abutments and computer-designed 3D printed abutments) in terms of the amount of bone loss, and depth of periodontal pockets around the implant during different periods.
Detailed description
In the past few years, the number of research conducted on the designs of abutments and materials has increased. Often, the restoration is done over the implant using standard abutments that the implant company prefabricated, but due to the problems facing the dentist from the occurrence of bone absorption, an increase in the depth of the pocket after restoration, other types of abutment design methods have been introduced as needed (molded abutment made by lost wax technique and computer-designed abutment made using a 3D laser printer), those customised abutments were made special for each patient depending on their conditions.
Interventions
OTHERMolded abutment
The waxed plastic abutment will dismantle, wedged, and poured using a Ni-Cr mixture then it will be trimmed to make it ready to make the permanent restoration over it. The prostheses will be cemented above the abutment using dual-cure resin cement then the final restoration (crown and abutment) will be fixed using a screw-retained manner.
OTHER3D printed abutment
A marker or Scan body appropriate for the type of implant will be placed on the laboratory implant substitute, a digital scan of the marker will be done in the lab, and the scanned image will be transferred to a computer design software where the prosthesis is designed, In the printing phase, the final prosthesis will be manufactured using a stepwise metal powder supply and a laser fusion process. Making the abutment ready to make the permanent restoration over it. The prostheses will be cemented above the abutment using dual-cure resin cement then the final restoration (crown and abutment) will be fixed using a screw-retained manner.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the crestal bone height | T1:3 months after cementation, T2: 6 months after cementation, T3: 1 year after cementation | It Is the loss of bone that occurred around the dental implant neck after fixing the final prosthesis (abutment and crown). A periapical radiograph is going to be taken using a digital intra-oral sensor with a special holder in a parallel way, to measure the changes that occurred at the level of the bone around the implant depending on MBLS concept taking two referring points from the neck of the abutment to the first match of the bone with the abutment using special programs on computer (Photoshop) during different periods. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the depth of periodontal pockets | T1: direct after cementation, T2:3 months after cementation, T3: 6 months after cementation, T4: 1 year after cementation | Periodontal pockets are spaces surrounding the implant under the gum line. The pocket around the implant will be measured by using special plastic probe slides between the implant and gum to measure the depth of the periodontal pocket, and the changes in the depth of pockets will be noted and register after fixing the final prosthesis (abutment and crown), during different periods. |
