Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Degree of inflammation [1 month after second surgery]
Degree of inflammation was measured using a 4-point Likert scaleInflammation 0 = non-inflamed gingiva with pale pink color. Inflammation 1 = erythematous gingiva without bleeding on manipulation. Inflammation 2 = gingiva with slight bleeding during manipulation during unscrewing or screwing of the abutment. Inflammation 3 = gingiva with heavy bleeding during manipulation during unscrewing or screwing of the abutment.
