  • Title: A new implant design for crestal bone preservation: initial observations and case report.
    Author: Baumgarten H, Cocchetto R, Testori T, Meltzer A, Porter S.
    Journal: Pract Proced Aesthet Dent; 2005; 17(10):735-40. PubMed ID: 16506616.
    Abstract:
    Following the exposure and restoration of two-piece dental implants, some change in the vertical level of the peri-implant crestal bone height has been reported. This change in crestal bone height has not, however, negatively impacted long-term implant success. This article describes how the concept of platform switching is incorporated into a new implant design as a means of reducing or eliminating the occurrence of crestal bone loss. Preliminary observations from clinicians utilizing this new implant design are herein presented.
