Subcrestal placement of dental implants with an internal conical connection of 0.5  mm versus 1.5 mm: Outcome of a multicentre randomised controlled trial 1 year after loading.

CONCLUSIONS: No statistical or clinical differences were noticed when placing implants 0.5 mm or 1.5 mm subcrestally, therefore clinicians can do as they prefer. Conflict-of-interest statement: Anthogyr (Sallanches, France), the manufacturer of the implants used in this investigation, partially funded this trial and donated the implants and the prosthetic components, however data belonged to the authors and by no means did the sponsor interfere with the conduct of the trial or the publication of its results.
