Vervaeke S, et al. - The purpose of this trial was to examine the impact of soft tissue thickness on bone remodeling and to evaluate if the exposure of the implant surface could be avoided by adapting the vertical implant position in relation to the soft tissue thickness. Data illustrated that the initial bone remodeling was influenced by the soft tissue thickness. It was discovered that anticipating biologic width re-establishment by adapting the vertical position of the implant appeared to be highly successful in avoiding the implant surface exposure.
