Histological and micro‐CT analysis of peri‐implant soft and hard tissue healing on implants with different healing abutments configurations

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different abutment configurations on peri-implant soft and hard tissue healing.Two-piece dental implants, 3.5 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length, were placed in four beagle dogs. Two different transmucosal healing abutment configurations were randomly selected: one with a wide emergence profile (WE) (45° angulation with implant long axis) and the other with a narrow emergence profile (NE) (15°...
