Aim: This study systematically reviews the effect of platform-switching (PS), in immediate implants, on final marginal bone level (MBL) and implant survival in comparison to regular implant abutments Methods: The authors conducted a Pubmed search till and including August 2017. The review authors independently screened, reviewed and assessed the studies for the risk of bias. This was followed by data extraction and analysis of different outcomes gathered for meta-analysis. Due to expected heterogeneity, we adopted the random-effects model for the conduction of the meta-analysis. Results: We combined the outcomes of the finally included three studies in a meta-analysis, and it showed a statistically significant difference in favor of the use of PS implants for bone preservation(95% CI -0.41; -0.19, P < 0.00001). Conclusions: platform-switching seems to improve implant stability and survival through reducing post-surgical marginal bone loss that occurs after functional loading.
