Citric Acid Passivation on Implant Abutments for the Prevention of Peri-implant Disease
Peri-Implantitis, Implant Infection, Microbial Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Peri-Implantitis
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with ≥18 years old.
- Systemically healthy patients.
- Patients with healthy periodontal status with a full mouth plaque index ≤ 20% (O'Leary, 1972) and full mouth bleeding index (Ainamo & Bay, 1975) before implant surgery.
- Need for at least one dental implant in maxillary and mandibular partially posterior edentulous healed sites.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with some special conditions that could interfere surgical oral procedures.
- Patients with non-treated periodontal disease.
- Patients with uncontrolled systemic disease that could impair wound healing (i.e. Diabetes Mellitus).
- Pregnant women.
- Patients allergic to any metallic component of the materials.
- Need for bone or soft tissue reconstruction simultaneous to implant placement.
- Lack of primary stability during implant placement (i.e., insertion torque < 25 N, ISQ > 60)
- Smokers ≥ 10 cigarettes per day.
- Patients will be excluded from the study if they violate any of the criteria during the trial, as well as those that desire to withdraw the study or have any adverse reactions to the materials employed.

Placebo Comparator
Citric acid abutment
Control non coated abutment
Antimicrobial-coated abutments (citric acid) will be allocated to the test group. Permanent Vega® (Klockner Implant System, Barcelona, Spain) will be used. The interface between implant and abutment is platform switching. The abutment height will be of 2 mm. It will be placed the day of the implant surgery and tighten to 25 N
