Published in: Journal of prosthodontics : official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists (2024)

Placing the implant at the crestal level or subcrestally beyond the cortical layer could potentially reduce stress and minimize crestal bone loss. However, further studies are warranted for confirmation.
