OBJECTIVES: The aim of this RCT was to assess radiographically the effect of abutment height and depth of placement of platform-switched implants on interproximal peri-implant bone loss (IPBL) in patients with thin peri-implant mucosa. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-three patients received one prosthesis supported by two implants replacing at least two adjacent missing teeth (66 implants). Patients were randomly allocated and implant insertion depth adapted to abutment height groups (3 mm height group the implants were placed 2 mm subcrestally; 1 mm height group, equicrestally). Clinical and radiological measurements were performed at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Interproximal bone-level changes were compared between treatment groups using repeated measures mixed ANOVA. The association between IPBL and categorical variables was also analyzed. RESULTS: The mean IPBL in 1 mm abutment group was 0.76 ± 0.79 mm at 3 months, 0.92 ± 0.88 mm at 6 months, and 0.95 ± 0.88 mm at 12 months, while in the 3 mm abutment group was 0.06 ± 0.21, 0.07 ± 0.22 mm, and 0.12 ± 0.33 mm, respectively. Significant differences between both groups were observed at every time point. When the influence of patient characteristics and clinical variables was analyzed, no statistically significant differences were also observed. CONCLUSIONS: The use of long abutments, in combination with subcrestal implant position in sites with thin mucosa, led to lower IPBL in comparison with the use of short abutments.
