Abstract
Implant-supported restorations are often attached as screw-retained or cemented prostheses, consistent with the sort of retention. Dental implants are commonly used not just to supply patients with function but also form and esthetics. The aim of this study is to guage and compare the steadiness of peri-implant soft tissues around single implants restored with screw retained and cemented prosthesis and also to compare PES and WES for screw retained and cemented prosthesis. A total of 20 patients, both male and female with single unit implants will be selected and randomly grouped into group A and group B. Group A - 10 patients with screw retained prosthesis, Group B - 10 patients with cemented prosthesis. Evaluation of peri- implant soft tissues were analysed with photographs using PES and WES. Inferential statistics like Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman’s correlation was used. A p - value less than 0.05 was considered to be significant. PES and WES in both CP and SP groups was not statistically significant, giving an almost perfect outcome (p ≤ 0.05). Spearman’s correlation test failed to show any significant associations between the overall mean PES or WES in both CP and SP groups (p=0.65). The study demonstrated that both the restorations showed no difference and achieved favourable esthetic outcome. Keywords: Esthetic, Cemented, Screw retained, PES, WES, peri-implant
