note = {Introduction Oral implants are a surgical/prosthetic integrated method to restore missing teeth. Their original configuration provide for matching diameter implant platform and prosthetic components (prosthetic components diameter = implant platform diameter). Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that the matching diameter fixture and prosthetic components configuration leads to a formation of a so called “biologic width” with 1-2 mm of peri-implant bone resorption.
Recently published studies have shown that prosthetic components smaller in diameter compared to the implant platform (prosthetic components diameter < implant platform) allow better bone level maintenance. However, the diameter mismatching configuration of the platform switching concept still remains histologically debatable and might suggest to be prone to a bacterial invasion, because this configuration moves the infected site away from the sensitive environment (bone).
At the same time, all data expressing bone level changes around platform switched implants, although more positive (0.5mm on average) compared to traditionally restored implants (1.5mm on average), present very often high variability. It might suggest that an individual bone pattern could influence the dimension of biologic width re-establishment and, thus, bone level changes in the long run.
Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to verify histologically:
1. How hard and soft tissue adaptation to the platform switching configuration can explain the positive clinical results.
2. The diameter mismatching configuration of platform switched implants could lea to a negative inflammatory response in the middle/short term.
3. An additional aim was to test clinically if an individual bone pattern (structure, “bone quality”) could affect peri-implant bone level changes.
Materials and Methods To test these hypotheses, 3 different studies were performed:
1. Animal (minipigs) study to compare the structure of biologic width around implants restored using traditional approach and platform switching histologically.
2. Histological and immunohistochemical studies in human specimens analyzing soft tissue inflammatory reactions after loading around implants restored using traditional approach and platform switching
3. Clinical study comparing radiologic bone level changes with histological and immunohistochemical aspects of bone alterations longitudinally after loading around implants restored using traditional approach and platform switching.
Results The most important results were:
1. Compared to traditionally restored implant, the platform switching configuration may have a minor impact on the length of the epithelial component of the biologic width, while the connective tissue compartment was demonstrated to be seated over the implant platform and in direct contact with prosthetic components.
2. No significant difference was found between platform switching and traditional matching diameter configurations in terms of inflammatory infiltrate, microvascular density and collagen content. In all groups, most samples with a wellpreserved junctional epithelium showed a small and localized inflammatory infiltrate associated with not-well-oriented collagen fibers and an increased vascularization.
3. After statistical leveling (standardization) of peri-implant bone remodeling values, a borderline direct correlation between peri-implant bone changes and levels of anabolic biomarkers and a borderline indirect correlation between bone changes and levels of catabolic biomarkers was found.
Conclusion From a histologic point of view, the particular design of platform switched implants do not offer a favorable environment for bacterial colonization and subsequent inflammatory infiltration. At the same time, the medialization of biologic width seems to prevent bone downgrowth and could explain the positive soft tissue inflammatory response to this diameter mismatching implant/abutment configuration.},
