Effect of Ti-Base Abutment Gingival Height on Maintenance of Crestal Bone in Thick Biotype Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial with 1-Year Follow-up.

Purpose: To determine the effect of 0.7- and 2.4-mm transmucosal abutment height titanium bases on the crestal bone stability and peri-implant soft tissue condition of bone-level implants with platform switching in patients with vertically thick soft tissues.

The influence of new immediate tissue level abutment on crestal bone stability of subcrestally placed implants: A 1-year randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: The relation between implant abutment disconnection (AD) and increased crestal bone loss is still debated.

Purpose: To compare bone changes below implant-abutment junction of subcrestally placed implants between: (1) implant level restorations, that underwent four ADs and (2) implants with immediate tissue level abutment with no AD, 1 month (T2) and 1-year (T3) after final restoration delivery.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-four patients received 64 bone level implants with platform-switching and conical connection in edentulous sites of posterior mandible and maxilla.

The influence of submerged healing abutment or subcrestal implant placement on soft tissue thickness and crestal bone stability. A 2-year randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: Aims of the study were: (a) to register crestal bone loss around 1.5 mm subcrestally placed implants and epicrestally placed implants with soft tissue tenting technique, (b) to record bone remodeling in subcrestal group, and (c) to determine the increase of vertical soft tissues after tenting.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two patients with vertically thin tissues of 2 mm or less received 40 submerged bone level platform-switched implants, divided into two groups-(a) 1.

Early crestal bone loss: Is it really loss?

Bone remineralization around dental implants might be possible after early crestal bone loss.

Bone Remineralization around Dental Implants following Conservative Treatment after Peri-Implantitis.

The aim of this case report is to show that bone remineralization around dental implants with a history of peri-implantitis is possible after irritant factors are removed and only conservative treatment is performed. Patient came to the clinic after three years of dental implant placement complaining about swelling, sensitivity and gingiva color changes at the posterior part of the maxilla. During radiographic and intraoral examinations peri-implantitis of the #24 implant site was diagnosed.

Influence of titanium base, lithium disilicate restoration and vertical soft tissue thickness on bone stability around triangular-shaped implants: A prospective clinical trial.

Objective: To evaluate how vertical mucosal tissue thickness affects crestal bone stability around triangular-shaped bone-level implants, restored with low profile titanium bases and monolithic lithium disilicate restorations.

Material And Methods: Fifty-five bone-level implants of 4.3 mm diameter were evaluated in 55 patients (22 males and 34 females, mean age 48.

Radiological comparison of laser-microtextured and platform-switched implants in thin mucosal biotype.

Objective: To compare how laser-microtextured implants and implants with platform switching maintain crestal bone stability in thin peri-implant tissues.

Material And Methods: Thirty laser-microtextured implants of 4.6 mm diameter (Tapered Internal Laser-Lok, BioHorizons, Birmingham, AL, USA; Group 1) and 30 implants with platform switching of 5/4 mm diameter (Certain Prevail; Biomet/3i, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA; Group 2) were placed in 30 patients (12 males and 18 females, mean age 42.
