The study examined how different types of dental implants affect bone levels and tissue characteristics after healing and during an induced infection (peri-implantitis).
Four types of implants were tested in six dogs, with a total of 57 implants placed and monitored over a 12-week period.
Findings indicated that certain implant types (In-Kone Universal, twinKon, and Standard Plus) preserved more marginal bone compared to the NobelReplace Tapered implant, suggesting that implant choice impacts bone health during healing and infection stages.
