Effect of Plasma of Argon Cleaning on Implant Abutments in Patients With a History of Periodontal Disease and Thin Biotype: Five Years Post-loading Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Steam clean and Plasma of Argon for Endosseous Dental Implant Failure and Alveolar Bone Loss. Completed, enrolled 30 participants.
Detailed Summary
Contamination of implant abutments could potentially influence the peri-implant tissue inflammatory response. The aim of the present study was to assess the radiographic bone changes around customized, platform switched, abutments placed according to the "one-abutment-one-time" protocol, with and without plasma of argon cleaning treatment.

Timeline
Interventions
Control group: dental implant abutments underwent cleaning by steam (VAP 1, Zhermark, Cologne, Germany), performed for 5 seconds at 4 megapascal (MPa).
Test group: dental implant underwent argon plasma treatment in a plasma reactor (Diener Electronic, Jettingen, Germany). The treatment conditions were 75 W of power and 1 bar of pressure for 12 minutes.
