In the 1960s and 1970s, implant‐supported prostheses based on subperiosteal or blade
implants had a poor reputation because of questionable clinical outcomes and lack of …

In oral implantology, a 3–6 month stress‐free healing period is presently accepted as a
prerequisite to achieve bone apposition without interposition of a fibrous scar tissue. This …

Objective The aim is to define clinical and histologic characteristics of peri‐implant tissues in
health and describe the mucosa–implant interface. Importance An understanding of the …

An implant-abutment interface at the alveolar bone crest is associated with sustained peri-
implant inflammation; however, whether magnitude of inflammation is proportionally …

Background: Endosseous implants can be placed according to a non‐submerged or
submerged approach and in 1‐or 2‐piece configurations. Recently, it was shown that peri …

Gingival esthetics around natural teeth is based upon a constant vertical dimension of
healthy periodontal soft tissues, the Biologic Width. When placing endosseous implants …

Current implant placement utilizes both nonsubmerged and submerged techniques.
However, the implications of the location of a rough/smooth implant interface as well as the …

The inflammatory response adjacent to implants has not been well-investigated and may
influence peri-implant tissue levels. The purpose of this study was to assess …

The present experiment was performed to examine if the material used in the abutment part
of an implant system influenced the quality of the mucosal barrier that formed following …

Background: Today, implants are placed using both non‐submerged and submerged
approaches, and in 1‐and 2‐piece configurations. Previous work has demonstrated that peri …
