Influence of Crown-to-Implant Ratio on Long-Term Marginal Bone Loss Around Short Implants.

CONCLUSION: Higher cCI was associated with greater MBL of implant-supported fixed dental prostheses in short dental implants placed in the posterior mandible, while implant characteristics, follow-up, and site were not associated with MBL. However, the increase of 0.28 mm of MBL in patients with a cCI ≥ 2 may be not clinically relevant. PMID: 30779823 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
