Abstract

Dental implants are one of the most used treatment modalities for restoring edentulous spaces. Despite being a procedure with highly predictable success rates. Complications related with implants are peri-implantitis and peri implant mucositis, that cause the imbalance between the bacterial load and the host’s defenses. Healing abutments are used to re-establish the anatomical features and health state conditions of soft tissues which allow the proper formation of barrier epithelium and connective tissues. Plasma spraying is used for surface modification and decontamination. It has also been related to a decrease in marginal bone loss around implants and to a higher mean gain at the soft tissue marginal level compared to abutments with no treatment procedure. This case report demonstrates the clinical effect of plasma spray treated healing abutment on peri-implant soft tissue.
