Influence on marginal bone levels at implants equipped with blades aiming to control the lateral pressure on the cortical bone. An experimental study in dogs

ConclusionsThe lowest bone crest resorption and highest levels of osseointegration were observed in the 0.0  μm and + 50 μm groups. The cortical region where the blades had performed their cutting action showed regular healing with perfect hard and soft tissues sealing in all the groups. Cortical blades gathered bone particles, particularly in the + 200 μm group, which were incorporated into the newly formed bone. The results from the present experiment provide support to the use of blades that produce a marginal gap of 50 μm after implant insertion.
