Abstract

The aim of the study was to carry out a structured review of studies that dealt with types of implant abutment connections, the concept of platform switching and its influence on hard and soft oral tissues. Electronic search was conducted over PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, Embase to find articles dealing with Implant abutment connection and platform switching. We came across a total of 248 articles, which were filtered to a cumulative 19 articles after cross matching with predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most of the available literature gravitates in favor of an internal connection with the incorporation of platform switching to attain satisfactory hard and soft tissue outcomes.
