Meta-analysis of 5 randomised clinical studies with 12-month clinical follow-up on the immediate use of a definitive abutment during implant surgery published in International Journal of Oral Implantalogy 2019;12(3):283-296.
This meta-analysis shows that reducing the number of abutment disconnections significantly reduces bone loss in the peri-implant marginal bone.
