2 CHAPTER 1 Introduction 8

3 The replacement of lost or missing teeth by means of implants has revolutionized oral rehabilitation for fully and partly edentulous situations. The successful long term performance of implants and restorations has been demonstrated in several studies, both for the maxilla and for the mandible (Slot et al, 2010; Pjetursson et al, 2012; Papaspyridakos et al, 2014; Moraschini et al, 2015). Osseointegration of implants being predictable over the years, sustainable esthetics related to the implant crown including its surrounding soft tissues have gained focus of both; the professionals and the public (Romeo et al, 2004; Simonis et al, 2010; den Hartog et al, 2008). Studies on predisposing factors that influence esthetic success or failure in dental implant cases correlate multiple attributes of predictors to favorable or unfavorable outcomes (Sterrett et al, 1999; Belser et al, 2004; Kois, 2004; Ahmad, 2005; Zetu & Wang, 2005). Worth mentioning are presurgical diagnostic factors like form and biotype of the periodontium, tooth shape and position, position of the osseous crest, techniques such as precise three dimensional placement of implant, socket preservation, orthodontic extrusion, onlay grafts, distraction osteogenesis, soft tissue grafts and restorations mimicking the precise form and shade. It is also critical to ensure uniformity and repeatability in documenting the esthetic outcomes with objective rather than subjective measures (Jemt, 1997; Belser et al, 2004; Meijer et al, 2005; Furhauser et al, 2005). No therapy can be successful unless the patients accept it and hence their opinions on the outcome of the therapy have to be recorded objectively (Esposito et al, 2009). The preservation of labial and proximal marginal bone levels that support the interdental papilla and cervical mucosa is considered of utmost importance and implant concepts and techniques, both surgical and restorative to achieve and improve it have been a challenge for the surgical and bio-engineering field for decades. One way would be to influence the implant design, particularly the neck portion of the implant. Traditionally the neck of an implant is round, with a butted interface between the implant and the abutment. In the last decade attempts were made to reduce marginal bone resorption by modifying the implant-abutment connection. Platform switching, moving the implant-abutment margin away from the marginal bone level proved a successful concept (Lazarra & Porter, 2006; Atieh et al, 2010; Canullo et al, 2010; Telleman et al, 2014). Another way would be 9

4 to adjust the marginal geometry of the implant, for example by manufacturing a scalloped-neck implant platform design, which rendered varying clinical success (Wöhrle, 2003; McAllister, 2007; Kan et al, 2007; den Hartog et al, 2011). With respect to the abutment, traditionally titanium cylindrical abutments were used, yielding a stable and healthy permucosal seal, which protected the underlying tissues from the intraoral environment as result of adhesion, proliferation and colonization of fibroblastic cells to the implant abutment material. Abutment surface properties, among which are biocompatibility (i.e. chemistry), surface topography (i.e. roughness) and surface-free energy are key influencing factors (Quirynen et al, 1993; Quirynen et al, 1994; Bollen et al, 1996; Rimondini et al, 1997; Abrahamsson et al, 1998; Rasperini et al, 1998; Grossner-Schreiber et al, 2007; Abrahamsson et al, 2002; Hamdan et al, 2006; Rompen et al, 2006; Teughels et al, 2006; Linkevicius & Apse, 2008). Zirconia and titanium implant abutments seem to elicit a similar soft tissue response in vivo (van Brakel et al, 2011a, 2011b, 2012). The geometry of the abutment may also be of influence on mucosal stability. From results reported by Rompen et al (2007) an inwardly narrow abutment showed favorable results with respect to the maintenance of the periimplant mucosa. This was attributed to the creation of an O-ring type connective tissue attachment due to the concavity in the abutment geometry, which increased the surface area, signifying enhancement of the gingival biotype and a probable improvement in bacterial resistance. Their findings were not verified by others to date. The formation of soft tissue around the implant, its quality, its endurance against bacterial invasion and its resilience after years of function is a clinically relevant topic. Better understanding of influencing factors provides future leads for the development of new implant connections, abutment morphology and implant surfaces, especially those in contact with soft tissue. The research in this PhD project predominantly focused on the effect of implant abutment geometry on soft tissue development and maintenance. The entire project was also approved by the Smile Care Ethics Committee for Human Research (National Registration Number ECR/463/Int/MH/2013). A randomized split mouth blinded prospective clinical trial was set up. An exploratory study on 10

5 gingival biotypes and crown dimensions comparing Caucasian and Indian subjects was undertaken in order to compare and objectively determine gingival biotypes in the Dutch and Indian population in order to eliminate the effect of possible racial differences. The specific aims were: To evaluate, in a unicentric, left-right randomized split mouth clinical trial, the effect of two different abutment designs on soft tissue healing post 6 weeks of function in a delayed healing protocol (Chapter 2). To quantitatively measure, in a unicentric, left-right randomized split mouth clinical trial, the peri-implant tissue thickness and to assess the change in biotype post 6 weeks of function in a delayed healing protocol (Chapter 2). To assess, in a unicentric, left-right randomized split mouth clinical trial, the mucosal marginal stability and soft tissue resistance upon pulling pressure (deseating force) measured by a calibrated gauge, post 6 weeks of function in a delayed healing protocol (Chapter 2). To assess, in a unicentric, left-right randomized split mouth clinical trial, the effect of two different abutment designs, over one year of loading, the soft tissue response through clinical Pink Esthetic Score (PES) parameters; namely: mesial and distal papilla, soft tissue level and contour, alveolar process deficiency, soft tissue color and texture (Chapter 3). To assess, in a unicentric, left-right randomized split mouth clinical trial, the effect of two different abutment designs, over one year of loading, the marginal bone levels by clinical recording of marginal bone levels (Chapter 3). To correlate, in a unicentric, left-right randomized split mouth clinical trial, the effect of two different abutment designs, over one year of loading, the interproximal papilla fill by means of Papilla Index Score (PIS) related to the radiological maximum bone level between the implant and adjacent root as 11

6 well as the peri-implant marginal bone level (Chapter 4). To compare, in the randomized clinical trial, patients satisfaction and dentists observations, especially on muco-gingival esthetics, for divergent and curved titanium abutments for single implant crowns in the esthetic zone (Chapter 5). To correlate gingival biotype and natural crown dimensions across Caucasian and Indian subjects (Chapter 6). The results are discussed and summarized in chapters 7 to 9. 12
