Abstract

Marginal bone loss around dental implants remains a persistent clinical challenge affecting long-term implant success. This study compared crestal bone changes in 100 patients restored with platform-switched versus platform-matched abutments over a 12-month period. Standardized radiographs revealed significantly lower marginal bone loss in the platform-switched group at every follow-up interval. Clinical parameters remained stable in both groups, confirming that inflammation did not influence bone-level differences. Thus data shows clear superiority of platform switching in preserving peri-implant bone.
