| Research Abstract |
The "platform-switched" implant system has emerged as one of the effective implant treatment. However, supportive basic studies in this system have not yet been reported. To prove the importance of this system, we have evaluated the attachment of peri-implant epithelium (PIE) to the implant surface, comparing the "Step-type" and "Straight-type" implant model, respectively.
The down-growth of PIE:The "Step-type" can protect down-growth rather than "Straight-type" in the long term, In the other side, the penetration of an exogenous factor: "Step-type" can inhibit penetration of infection from the gingival sulcus into the connective tissue under the PIE, compared with "Straight-type". These findings suggest that this system is effective for the sealing of the epithelium-implant interface.
