Stable adherence of soft tissue onto the abutment and restoration surfaces is a key determinant of long-term success of implant treatment. It can be influenced by abutment surface modifications and abutment dis- and re-connection during the prosthetic phase.

The long-term success of implant therapy can be impacted by abutment surface and abutment dis- and re-connection. Presented at EAO 2022, this study evaluates clinical, radiological, and soft tissue outcomes of a  two-piece abutment concept with a novel anodized surface.
