BACKGROUND and AIM
Early and conventional loading protocols are current state of the art. When 1-stage protocols are implemented, 3 months of soft and hard tissue healing in the mandible and maxilla are considered as conventional healing time; 6-8 weeks are regarded as early healing times for early loading. Soft tissue cicatrisation and maturation after surgery with flap elevation requires time; information is scarce on the stability of the marginal soft tissues when impression is to be taken by the end of the early vs. conventional healing times.
Aim of this pilot study was to compares the position of the marginal gingiva on the buccal, lingual/palatal, mesial and distals sides of the healing abutment measured successively after 6-8 and 12-14 weeks following flap surgery in the mandible and the maxilla.
