BISH GONZALEZ, MJ et al. Tissue response to dental implants with platform switching. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.107-115.  Epub 05-Dez-2022. ISSN 2340-3152.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0213-12852020000200007.

The evolution of designs of implant systems and abutments configurations has developed the concept of platform-switching that involves the connection of a narrower abutment to the platform implant to allow horizontal distance of the interface bone-implant. Platform-switching is considered an important factor to preserve the stability of crestal bone and soft tissue ensuring the success of dental implants in the long-term follow-up. Platform-switching reduces the forces of occlusal loading and bacterial contamination in the interface between the crestal bone and the implant. Experimental studies in animals and clinical studies in patients showed that implants with platform-switching have demonstrated the effectiveness to prevent peri-implant bone loss and subsequent soft tissue loss.
