Conclusions There was less MBL loss at implants with platform-switching than at implants with platform-matching (mean difference -0.29, 95% CI -0.38 to -0.19; P <0.00001). An increase of the mean difference of MBL between the procedures was observed with the increase in the follow-up time (P =0.001) and with the increase of the mismatch between the implant platform and the abutment (P =0.001). Due to lack of satisfactory information, meta-analyses for the outcomes ‘implant failure’ and ‘postoperative infection’ were not performed. The results of the present review should be interpreted with caution due to the presence of uncontrolled confounding factors in the included studies, most of them with short follow-up periods. Clinical Significance: The question whether platform-ma…
