Platform Switching has become a very hot topic lately. Everything I have heard up to this point emphasizes how effective this is for protecting the implant from bacterial invasion. A number of implant systems now have this feature built in so you automatically have platform switching. I have been told that this will prevent bone resorption.

I would like to know what everybody is seeing out there in their implant patients. Do you notice a difference when you use a platform switching protocol?
