Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the bone changes around equicrestal and subcrestal implants, analyzing the effect of abutment height [short abutments (SA < 2 mm) and long abutments (LA > 2 mm)] and the three components of the peri‑implant soft-tissue phenotype. METHODS: Twenty-six patients received 71 implants that were placed according to supracrestal tissue height (STH) in an equicrestal (n = 17), shallow subcrestal ≈1...
