Abstract
- PURPOSE Soft tissue interactions with ceramic dental implants have previously been shown to have favorable esthetic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the papilla-crown proportion around zirconia implants in a 3-year follow-up study and the correlation between the gingival biotype and changes in papillary height. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective study of 39 patients with 40 single-gap implants (Straumann PURE Ceramic ZLA Implant). The papilla-crown proportion was assessed after 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years. In addition, correlations between the peri-implant biotypes and changes in papillary heights were evaluated. RESULTS The papilla-crown proportion improved from 35.5% after 3 months to 41.7% after 3 years. The gingival biotype was correlated very weakly to papilla height alterations. Significant papillary fill was observed in the interdental space between 3 months and 3 years (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS An ideal papilla-crown proportion of 40% around single implants was observed after 3 years. A thin or thick gingival biotype showed a very weak correlation with soft tissue alterations.
