Vol. 13 – Number 50 – 2022 IMPLANT DENTISTRY NOTEBOOK Review article Page 72-77 Switching platform and behavior on peri-implantation fabrics – review of literature and presentation of a clinical case with follow-up of 10 years Ronald Aquino¹ Matheus Warmeling2 Renato Valiati3 André Webber Rosa4 Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate, through a review of the literature and a case report with a 10-year follow-up, the relation of the switching platform with the periimplant tissues. The research was conducted through the databases Lilacs, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct, with the terms plataform switching, dental abutments, dental implants, peri-implant bone loss, implant-abutment interface, and microgap. We used 40 articles for this review, all in the English language. The inclusion criteria of the present study were articles published until 2017, randomized and non-randomized clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies. According to the exposed literature and the clinical case report, the benefits and indications of the switching platform were observed, being distinguished by the better biomechanical distribution, preservation of bone crest and soft tissues adjacent to the implant, and greater aesthetic predictability over the years, limiting the complications of this type rehabilitation treatment.
