Figure 1: The principle of submerged (left) and non-submerged (right) implant insertion

Subsequent clinical studies have shown that the use of non-submerged implants reached similar long-term success as submerged ones.

The treatment concept of non-submerged implant placement enables the possibility of early implant loading, one surgical procedure only, and thus a reduced treatment period for the patients. In the single-tooth case, a non-submerged implant/healing abutment may be protected from premature occlusal preload by adjacent teeth.
