Popis: Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic changes in the peri-implant tissues around one-stage implants with different smooth neck portion lengths before and after functional prosthetic loading. Methods: Twelve one-stage implants were placed in adult patients with bilateral edentulous posterior mandibular ridges. The sites were randomly assigned into two groups of six each: group 1: 2.8 mm neck implants and group 2: neck implants. The parameters plaque index (Pl), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), gingival margin level (GML), relative clinical attachment level (r-CAL), and optical density (OD) were measured at loading (4 months) and 12 months after implant placement. The radiographic parameter osseous level (OL) was measured at implant placement, loading, and at 12 months. Analysis of variance and the paired Student t test were used to detect difference over time and between groups. Results: The results showed significant differences (P
