Influence of implant component materials on peri-implant soft tissue healing: a comparative histological and immunohistochemical study in humans

The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of three materials commonly used in implant dentistry, namely titanium (Ti), dental adhesive resin (Re) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), on the peri-implant soft tissues. In this clinical randomised comparative study, 37 bone-level implants were placed, and experimental transmucosal healing abutments made of different materials were randomly assigned to each implant.
