The objectives of this study are to evaluate long‐term wettability of novel surface‐ engineered, clinically available dental implants, featuring a surface nanolayer of cova- lently linked hyaluronan, and to confirm the relationships between wetting properties and surface nanostructure and microstructure. Wettability measurements were per- formed on…

Many dental procedures allow for implant placement in partially or totally edentulous patients. Despite the availability of various implant and abutment types on the market, it often becomes quite challenging to achieve the biological and esthetic goals in a patient who has ridge deficiencies. Problems arise from the lack of adequate bone quality and quantity…

Prosthetic abutment height and peri‐implant mucosal thickness are con‐ sidered factors that influence marginal bone remodeling during biological width es‐ tablishment around dental implants. However, no clinical studies have evaluated their simultaneous effect on marginal bone loss (MBL).

This preliminary clinical and radiographic study examined the survival, the marginal bone loss (MBL), and the influence of prosthetic abutment height (AH) on MBL, around hybrid implants placed in two groups of partially edentulous patients: healthy (HP) and periodontally compromised (PCP) patients.
