Sub?crestal positioning of implants results in higher bony crest resorption: an experimental study in dogs

ConclusionsThe placement of implants into a sub?crestal location resulted in a higher vertical buccal bone resorption and a more apical position of the peri?implant mucosa in relation to the level of the bony crest at implant installation.
