Abstract

The etiology of marginal bone loss (MBL) around implants, even if numerous hypotheses have been proposed, remains not completely clarified. Among the various influencing factors, Linkevicius (2015) suggested that MBL around platform‐switched implants surrounded by thick soft tissue is lower than around fixtures with thin soft tissue (≤2 mm height). Moreover, recent studies (Galindo‐Moreno 2015, Blanco 2018) demonstrated an inverse correlation between MBL and prosthetic abutment height. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
