Peri-implant Bone Loss of Tissue-Level and Bone-Level Implants in the Esthetic Zone with Gingival Biotype Analysis

Abstract

Analysis of the obtained results did not reveal a dependency of bone height on implant design or on gingival biotype. However, prior to choosing an implant design, it may nevertheless be beneficial to screen for transparent soft tissues, where the BL design offers a more natural emergence profile. For this purpose, the TRAN method is clearly the fastest and easiest.

Impact of mucosal phenotype on marginal bone levels around tissue level implants: A prospective controlled trial

“…Formation of the peri‐implant STH, along with implant design (polished collar, laser‐microtexturing), 35,36 fixture positioning (supracrestal), and prosthetic features (particular abutment lengths, gently contoured crowns), 15,16 has likely influenced the outcomes of this study and dwarfed any effects of the native mucosal thickness. Linkevicius et al.…”

Soft Tissue Management on Pontic and Implant Sites Before Implants Insertion

“…The esthetic management and preservation of tissue stability in the area surrounding implant abutments have been important topics for investigation and discussion. 1,2 The esthetics of implants replacing the maxillary anterior teeth are particularly challenging as patients are very conscious of this area, and have high demands, especially for harmony between the implants and the soft tissue. [3][4][5] Soft tissue management to achieve this has conventionally been performed after implant placement using implant-supported provisional restorations.…”

Survival of adjacent‐dental‐implants in prediabetic and systemically healthy subjects at 5‐years follow‐up

“…Long‐term implant survival is associated with factors such as (1) primary stability; (2) oral hygiene maintenance; and (3) prevention of tissue inflammation and maintenance of alveolar bone height around the implant . Crestal bone loss (CBL) of 2 mm within the first year of implant placement tailed by a CBL of 0.2 mm every year is acceptable .…”

[5][6][7] Arches with missing adjacent dentition are often restored using nonsplinted dental implants; 8 however, a complication in such cases is formation of an inter-proximal "black-triangle" in the space between the implant-supported restorations.…”
