About this trial
Evaluate whether the type of probe (plastic vs. metallic) modifies the accuracy of peri-implant probing in single-unit implants, by comparing the probing depth recorded with the prosthesis in place versus without the prosthesis (ΔPD, mm). Secondarily, explore the influence of prosthetic design and implant position on probing values and on other clinical and radiographic parameters.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adults (≥18 years)
Presence of at least one single-unit bone-level implant rehabilitated with a screw-retained prosthesis directly connected to the implant (no intermediate abutment)
Implant in function for at least 1 year after prosthetic loading
No pathological bone loss on periapical radiograph (distance from the most coronal rough surface of the implant to the bone crest < 3 mm)
Disqualifiers
Cement-retained restorations or prostheses that cannot be removed
Systemic antibiotic or anti-inflammatory treatment within the previous 3 months
Pregnancy or lactation
Peri-implant treatment within the previous 3 months
