Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 20(6): 875-81 SUMMARY Design changes of the CAMLOG ® and CONELOG ® Implant Systems have systematically been tested pre-clinically. The enlargement of the coarse neck area of SCREW-LINE implants (Promote ® plus design) has been shown to improve the osseointegration. Bacterial microleakage does not seem to play a role in marginal bone resorption around CAMLOG ® implants. Studies on the concept of platform switching have demonstrated successful osseointegration of both standard and platform-switched im- plants. Repeated abutment dis- and reconnection during the healing phase may impair the stability of the hard and soft tissue both with titanium and ZrO 2 abutments. Vertical loading due to removal of cement-retained restorations does not impair implant stability when the implants are well osseointegrated.
