Stable adherence of soft tissue onto the abutment and restoration surfaces is a key determinant of long-term success of implant treatment. It can be influenced by abutment surface modifications and abutment dis- and re-connection during the prosthetic phase.

In this lecture, Dr. Glen Liddelow reviews the evolution of implant and abutment surfaces on osseointegration and shows the latest developments.

Dr Tristan Staas presents the original study abstract at the European Association of Osseointegration Digital Days 2021 in the area of Clinical Innovations. The study shows that the novel N1 concept system offers an easy-to-use implant placement protocol.
