Study design. The study was designed to test hypothesis that argon plasma pre-treatment might provide favorable effects on soft tissue cells and peri-implant microbiome that would contribute to more solid implant soft tissue integration. The standard clinical parameters and peri-implant microbiome were assessed between non-treated and treated healing abutments three months following placement. Additionally, the equal number of abutments with machined and rough surface topography were distributed for each group to secondary assess the effects of experimental treatment of abutments with different surface topography on soft tissue integration within secondary study objective
