Distance between implants has a potential impact of crestal bone resorption

Evaluation of crestal bone resorption around cylindrical and conical implants following 6 months of loading: A randomized clinical trial

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of implant body form (cylindrical and conical implants) on crestal bone levels during 6 months' follow-up after loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 SPI implants (19 conical implants/13 cylindrical implants) were randomly placed in 12 male patients using a submerged approach. None of the patients had compromising ...

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...

The maintenance of crestal bone around dental implants

The first report in the literature to quantify early crestal bone loss was a 15-year retrospective study that evaluated implants placed in edentulous jaws. In this study, Adell et al. reported an average of 1.2 mm marginal bone loss from the first thread during healing and the first year after loading. In contrast with the bone loss during the first year, there was an average of only 0.1 mm bon...
