After 60 days unloaded transgingival healing they were restored with single crowns or bridges. The insertion torque was recorded using the high torque indication ratchet wrench (H‐TIRW, Biomet 3i, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA). At the time point of implant insertion (T1) and delivery of the prosthetics (T2) panoramic x‐rays and DVT using the digital system Kodak CS9500 with the Kodak dental imaging software 6.12.10.0‐B were made. The distance between implant top and first bone to implant contact on x‐ray (X‐BIC) was measured at the implant surface in mm. The data and the differences between the two‐time points were calculated and given as means + TI - Peri‐implant tissue changes during the early‐phase of healing JF - Clinical Oral Implants Research DO - 10.1111/clr.255_13042 DA - 2017-10-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/peri-implant-tissue-changes-during-the-early-phase-of-healing-peKiVtl6Wp SP - 256 EP - 256 VL - 28 IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
