Bone‐Level Versus Tissue‐Level Titanium Dental Implants: A Comparative Cross‐Sectional Study
BL and TL implants at non-molar sites exhibited comparable survival and peri-implant disease rates. However, TL implants with 3.3 mm diameter showed lower peri-implantitis rates. A higher plaque score increased the risk of both mucositis and peri-implantitis, whereas smoking was a strong risk indicator for peri-implantitis. Greater mucosal thickness was protective against both conditions.
