130 Chapter 7 consensus on how to measure and report clinical and radiographic variables, as well as aesthetic ratings, accurately and homogenously. Conclusion The performance of conical and parallel connection configurations with a platform switch is comparable regarding peri-implant bone loss and implant loss when applied to solitary implant restorations in the aesthetic zone. Parallel walled platformmatched connections showed the most bone level change and implant loss. None of the connection configurations is significantly better at preserving the mid-buccal mucosa levels.
