Abstract Tissue-level (TL) implants, originally developed to eliminate the need for a second surgical procedure, are increasingly being used in the aesthetic zone due to their unique design advantages. The vertical platform shift positions the implant-abutment junction coronally, minimising marginal bone loss and optimising the crown-to-implant ratio. The machined, divergent collar may support space maintenance during guided bone regeneration and the buccal soft tissue contour.
