Abstract

Dental implants have been used for replacement of missing teeth. Various factors are considered to determine the success rate of dental implants. One of the important factors determining the success rate is peri-implant bone loss that occurs subsequently after implant placement . A variety of etiological factors have been listed responsible for peri-implant bone loss. One among the etiological factors for bone loss pertaining to implant geometry is implant-abutment connection type. Implant abutment connection type should be designed to minimize the bone loss around implants. Hence it is important to analyze and compare the bone changes that occur around implants with different connection types to choose an appropriate type for achieving maximum success rates.
