Influence of subcrestal implant placement compared with equicrestal position on the peri-implant hard and soft tissues around platform-switched implants: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This systematic review suggests that PS implants placed in a subcrestal position have less MBL changes when compared with implants placed equicrestally. Furthermore, the location of the microgap seems to have an influence on the dimensions of peri-implant soft tissues. Clinical relevance When compared with PS placed in an equicrestal position, subcrestal implant positioning demonstrated less peri-implant bone remodeling.
