Abstract
This study shows that a soft tissue-implant interface capable of preventing downgrowth and marsupilisation can develop around a bone-anchored transcutaneous implant, given the incorporation of a porous flange positioned in the dermal tissues immediately below the epithelium. This will benefit applications where bone-anchored transcutaneous implants are used.
