October 2018
Background: Marginal bone loss (MBL) is considered an important determinant of implant success, and establishing the peri-implant biological width has been regarded to influence MBL around implants. However, few studies have attempted to show the relationship between the crown/abutment gap and MBL.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of the prosthetic abutment height on MBL of dental implants.
