A comparative retrospective follow-up study was performed with implants of identical emergence concept, between a witness group, only balanced in canine protected occlusion (CPO), followed for 2 years and a second group of 40 unit implants, or connected by 2, followed for a period ranging from 1 to 8 years and balanced in simulating actual chewing, on the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth. The measures of the vertical bone level evolution are indisputable. The significant level bone augmentation around meticulously functional balanced implants is + 1,3mm in average. It shows clearly that the bone transmitted forces are regulated in an optimal stimulation range.This is not the case for implants whose equilibration is limited only to CPO, around which bone loss is observed on the ridge.
