Interventions

  • Metallic UNC-15 periodontal probe — DEVICE
    Probing performed at six sites per implant with the prosthesis in place and after prosthesis removal, under standardized force (0.20 N).
  • Plastic UNC-15 periodontal probe — DEVICE
    Probing performed at six sites per implant with the prosthesis in place and after prosthesis removal, under standardized force (0.20 N).

Study Details

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.
