Influence of microgap location and configuration on radiographic bone loss around submerged implants: An experimental study in dogs

Purpose: The vertical location of the implant-abutment connection influences the subsequent reaction of the peri-implant bone. It is not known, however, whether any additional influence is exerted by different microgap configurations. Therefore, the radiographic bone reactions of two different impla...

It is not known, however, whether any additional influence is exerted by different microgap configurations. Therefore, the radiographic bone reactions of two different implant systems were monitored for 6 months. Materials and Methods: In eight mongrel dogs, two implants with an internal Morse-taper connection (INT group) were placed on one side of the mandible; the contralateral side received two implants with an external-hex connection (EXT group). On each side, one implant was aligned at the bone level (equicrestal) and the second implant was placed 1.5 mm subcrestal. Healing abutments were placed 3 months after submerged healing, and the implants were maintained for another 3 months without prosthetic loading. At implant placement and after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months, standardized radiographs were obtained, and peri-implant bone levels were measured with regard to microgap location and evaluated statistically. Results: All implants osseointegrated clinically and radiographically. The overall mean bone loss was 0.68 ± 0.59 mm in the equicrestal INT group, 1.32 ± 0.49 mm in the equicrestal EXT group, 0.76 ± 0.49 mm in the subcrestal INT group, and 1.88 ± 0.81 mm in the subcrestal EXT group. The differences between the INT and EXT groups were statistically significant (paired t tests). The first significant differences between the internal and external groups were seen at month 1 in the subcrestal groups and at 3 months in the equicrestal groups. Bone loss was most pronounced in the subcrestal EXT group. Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, different microgap configurations can cause different amounts of bone loss, even before prosthetic loading. Subcrestal placement of a butt-joint microgap design may lead to more pronounced radiographic bone loss. © 2011 by Quintessence Publishing Co Inc.Department of Prosthodontics Propaedeutics and Dental Materials School of Dentistry Christian-Albrechts- University at KielDivision of Periodontics Department of Surgery and Integrated Clinic Dental School of Araçatuba Universidade Estadual Paulista, AraçatubaDivision of Periodontics Department of Surgery and Integrated Clinic Dental School of Araçatuba Universidade Estadual Paulista, AraçatubaChristian-Albrechts- University at KielUniversidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)2022-04-29T02:43:32Z2022-04-29T02:43:32Z2011-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article941-946International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants, v. 26, n. 5, p. 941-946, 2011.0882-2786http://hdl.handle.net/11449/2267192-s2.0-84857387380Scopusreponame:Repositório Institucional da UNESPinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPengInternational Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWeng, DietmarNagata, Maria José HitomiBosco, Alvaro Francisco [UNESP]De Melo, Luiz Gustavo Nascimento2025-03-12T08:03:34Zoai:repositorio.unesp.br:11449/226719Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttp://repositorio.unesp.br/oai/requestrepositoriounesp@unesp.bropendoar:29462025-03-12T08:03:34Repositório Institucional da UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
