Multicenter study evaluating the novel, tapered, conical connection implants: 1-year results.

OBJECTIVES:

The aim of this multicenter prospective clinical study was to evaluate anodized tapered implants with a conical connection and integrated platform shifting placed in the anterior and premolar maxilla.

CONCLUSIONS:

Bone gain was observed following the expected initial bone loss, and soft-tissue outcomes improved suggesting favorable tissue response using anodized tapered conical connection implants.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE:

Rapid stabilization of bone remodeling and robust papilla regeneration indicate favorable tissue healing promoted by the conical connection, platform-shift design.
