Influence of crestal and sub-crestal implant position on development of peri-implant diseases: a 5-year retrospective analysis

ConclusionsWithin the limitation of the present study, the clinical and radiographic outcomes showed that the percentage of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis was not statistically significant for both groups after 5  years follow-up.Clinical relevanceThe outcomes of present study clinically demonstrated that a deep position of implant shoulder did not provide any benefits. On the contrary, it may be considered a possible risk indicator for implant diseases.
