“…[23][24][25] Meanwhile, it was recognized that tapered abutments with platform switch increased peri-implant soft tissue stability compared to butt-joint abutments. 55,56 Although studies have compared the plaque and BOP index of soft tissues between abutments of different materials and different connection, the influence of abutment angle and height has not been researched so far. [55][56][57] Therefore, we analyzed the factors that might influence the peri-implant soft tissue health around the balanced base abutment with platform switch.…”

BackgroundThe survival rate, marginal bone loss and soft tissue health of the Ankylos implants and the balanced base abutments in all‐on‐four or six implant restoration of edentulous or terminal dentition patients has not been reported in the clinical research.PurposeThis retrospective study aimed to evaluate the Ankylos implants and the balanced base abutments in all‐on‐four or six implant restoration of edentulous or terminal dentition patients after 1–8 years of follow‐up.Materials and MethodsA retrospective study was conducted based on the medical records of 33 patients who received all‐on‐four or six treatments from April 2014 to May 2020. Four radiographic examinations [immediate postoperative (T0), definitive restorations (T1), 1–3 years after prosthetic restorations (T2), and more than 3 years after prosthetic restorations (T3)] were obtained to evaluate vertical bone height (VBH). We also calculated the survival rate and examined the condition of soft tissue with this implant system in edentulous or terminal dentition patients. Three‐level linear model analyses were used to explore potential risk factors for VBH changes on the mesial and distal sides. The generalized linear model was used to analyze the influencing factors of BOP and plaque.ResultsA total of 218 implants were included in this study. The cumulative survival rate of the implants was 97.25% before the definitive prosthesis, 96.33% within 3 years of follow‐up and 95.32% after more than 3 years of follow‐up. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) bone losses of the VBH were 0.27 ± 0.05 mm (T1‐T3) on the mesial side and 0.49 ± 0.06 mm (T1‐T3) on the distal side. During 1–8 years of follow‐up, the height and angle of the abutment (p < 0.001), the mandible implant site (p < 0.001), the length of the implant (p = 0.014 < 0.05) and age (p = 0.029 < 0.05) showed statistically significant effects on vertical mesial bone height (VMBH) and vertical distal bone height (VDBH). The risk of BOP among participants who brushed three times a day was lower than those who brushed less than three times. The plaque risk of short abutment height was higher than the long abutment.ConclusionThe current study showed that the Ankylos implants with the balanced base abutments in all‐on‐four or six implants treatment is a viable and predictable option with a high survival rate and low marginal bone loss in edentulous or terminal dentition patients. VBH around the implants was strongly associated with the mandible implant site, abutment height and angle, the length of the implant and age. Moreover, teeth‐brushing times and abutment height significantly affect soft tissue health.

“…Bone-level implants restored with platform switching have less recession of soft tissues [110]. Soft tissues around tapered abutment recapitulated the physiologic dimensions of natural tooth and enhanced peri-implant soft tissue stability [111,112]. The peri-implant soft tissues and the marginal level of bone-toimplant contact were similar between self-tapping standard implants and Osseotite ® implants of the 3i Implant System with microtextured acid-etched surface [113].…”

Purpose: The concept of biological width has been proposed and widely used in oral implantation. This review aimed to summarize the biological width around implant in detail. Study selection: An electronic search of the literature prior to March 2019 was performed to identify all articles related to biological width in periimplant soft tissue. The search was conducted in the MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine) database accessed through PubMed with no date restriction. The following main keywords were used: "implant", "biological width", "soft tissue", "junctional epithelium", "peri-implant epithelium", "connective tissue", "gingiva", "mucosa" (connecting multiple keywords with AND, OR). Results: The identified researches focused on several aspects related to biological width in oral implantation, namely the concept, formation, remodeling, dimension, structure and function. Conclusions: Based on of the reviewed literature, the concept, formation, remodeling, structure, dimension, and functional significances of periimplant biological width are explored in this narrative review. The formation of biological width around implant is a complex process after several weeks of healing. The biological width around implant is a 3-4mm distance from the top of the peri-implant mucosa to the first bone-to-implant contact or the stabilized top of the adjacent bone, consisting of sulcular epithelium, junctional epithelium and fibrous connective tissue between the epithelium and the first bone-to-implant contact or the stabilized top of the adjacent bone. The biological width forms a biological barrier against the bacteria, influences the remodeling of soft and hard tissue around implant and has implications for clinical aspects of dental implantation.

“…The mucogingival response and Priotest values estimated after 3 and 6 months of observation pointed to ANKYLOS as a better system. 9 The process of osseointegration for implants with immediate prosthetic load was evaluated with an experimental study also in monkeys. ANKYLOS implants placed in the posterior part of the mandible and subjected to immediate loading became osseointegrated in a similar way as implants with delayed loading.…”

Based on a review of topical literature, the paper presents the results of studies concerning marginal bone loss around dental implants. The paper provides a detailed description of the process of bone loss around dental implants with conical implant-abutment connection generally used in implant prosthetic treatment. The reviewed articles reported experimental studies involving animals, as well as clinical research in humans. The results concerning bone loss around the hexagonal implant-abutment interface are cited only to provide the historical background, as implants with internal connections are generally available and currently used in oral implantology. The research on bone loss around implants conducted over the years has allowed for the assessment of the relationships between various factors that may affect the process of bone loss around implants and, consequently, influence the final result of the treatment and therapeutic success. The researchers focused on the effect of such factors as: differences in implant structure, types of surfaces, shapes and materials. In addition, bone loss is dependent on prosthetic treatment: implants may be placed at different locations in the alveolar process bone and at different levels in the hard bone; open or closed methods of healing are used; types of prosthetic restorations loaded after implantation vary, as also varies the time from implantation to loading (early or late loading), types of cementing material and cementing techniques. The paper discusses also the presence of a microgap and its colonization by microorganisms as factors that negatively affect the process of osseointegration.
