About this trial

The aim of this study is to analyse contiguous dental implants and its peri-implant status depending on different inter-implant distances.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

The patient must be ≥18 years of age and systemically healthy;

Partially edentulous patients, rehabilitated until 2020 (i.e., a minimum of 3 years of function time) with at least two contiguous implant-supported restorations in the maxilla or mandible;

Screw or cemented-retained prosthesis;

Fixed dental prosthesis (i.e., single crowns and partial prosthesis);

Disqualifiers

Pregnant and lactating women;

Patients who have taken systemic antibiotics during the 3 months prior to the examination;

Patients being treated with drugs that may induce a gingival overgrowth;

Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment (since it can influence periodontal diagnosis);

Trial design

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Two contiguous dental implants placed with less ≤ 3mm from each other.
  • Two contiguous dental implants placed with > 3mm from each other.
