Introduction:The periimplant probing, as parodontal probing, it's a common practice to check the health status of both soft and hard tissues sorrounding the implant.The aim of this work is to evaluate, by the relevations made by two independent operators, how the periimplant probing deeph could be influenced, or not, by the presence, or not, of an implant supported prosthetic crown. Materials and methods:The sample was formed by 7 patients, (5 females and 2 males, including 6 non-smokers and 1 smoker) with at least one implant.A total of 18 implants were evaluated. For each implant has been executed 4 probings: with and without prosthetic crown, and then, after at least 15 days, by a second "blind" operator.Four probing points were set ( m-b-d-p/l). The accuracy of probings misurations indipendently done by the two operators has been calculated by the Paerson's correlation test.The unilateral Student's statistic T-test was utilized to evaluate the presence of statistically significant differencies between the probings done with and without prosthetic crowns (p<0.05). Results: By the data obtained with the periimplant probings recorded by the two operators clearly appears that there isn't any statistically significant difference between the probing made with the crown inserted and without the crown inserted, becouse the p values are all superior to the significancy level of the test (a =0.05). Discussion: Many studies have been recorded in literature regarding the confrontation of periimplant and parodontal probings, but a study regarding the influence of the prosthetic manufact was never done.This study tried to verify if differences between the sample implants with and without crown were present, but the limit of the study was the little amount of clinical cases. Conclusion: This preliminary clinical study underlined that probings made when the implant is supporting the prosthetic crown, or not, is not presenting statistically significating differences.
