Dental Implants With a Platform-Switched Morse Taper Connection and an Osteo Growth Induction Surface.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical outcomes after using an innovative implant system characterized by a modern platform-switched Morse taper connection and an osteo growth induction titanium surface (a particular type of SLA surface). Peri-implant bone loss (PBL) and implant success rate were examined after a 1- to 3-year follow-up.

Methods: The study was conducted as a cross-sectional analysis on all patients treated from January 2011 to December 2014 using CLC CONIC implants.
