Crestal Bone Loss Around Dental Implants; A Short Communication

Many studies described several parameters which are supposed to determine success or failure in longterm evaluations of dental implants. However, the relationship between crestal bone loss around implants and the location of implant-abutment connection in the bone still needs further investigations.The subgingival microgap between the implant and the abutment, which creates higher bone level re...

comparison of bone loss around bone platform shift and non-bone platform shift implants after 12 months

o bjectives: the aim of the present randomized clinical trial was to evaluate marginal bone loss around two types of implants modified at the neck area: nobel active and nobel replace groovy, both manufactured by nobel biocare. materials and methods: a total of 25 nobel active and 21 nobel replace groovy implants were included in the present study. the implants were placed based on the relevant...

Influence of thin mucosal tissues on crestal bone stability around implants with platform switching: a 1-year pilot study.

PURPOSE The aim of this pilot study was to determine what effect thin mucosal tissues can have on crestal bone stability around implants with platform switching. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve 2-piece implants, consisting of 6 implants with horizontally matching implant-abutment connection (control) and 6 implants with platform switching (test) were placed in 4 patients. The mean age of the pat...
