Introduction: For optimal dental implant esthetics the transition of a circumferential implant platform to a proper cervical anatomy has been emphasized. This transition is facilitated by the macro-design of the transmucosal portion of the abutment-restoration complex at the provisional and final stages of implant prosthetic therapy. There is limited information from human studies assessing the impact of abutment macro-design on periimplant tissue dimensional changes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively the effect of abutment macro-design on peri-implant tissue dimensional changes. Methods: This is an ongoing randomized control clinical trial in which twentyeight (28) patients with a …
