The effect of implant-abutment connections on peri-implant bone levels around single implants in the aesthetic zone: A systematic review and a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To systematically review literature about the effect of different implant-abutment interface designs on peri-implant bone level changes, implant loss and mid-buccal mucosa changes around single implants in the anterior maxilla. Reviewing three connection configurations: Platform switched conical (PS-conical); Platform switched parallel (PS-parallel); Platform matched parallel (PM-parallel).

Methods

A detailed search was carried out in Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Scopus, Open Gray and African journals Online (until December 1, 2020) and was restricted to clinical prospective studies of at least 1 year and with at least 10 human participants. A meta regression analysis was carried out primarily on the pooled peri-implant bone level changes followed by implant loss and
