Implant Fixtures With Horizontal Microthreads

Dr. J. from Michigan asks:

I have read in the journals how dental implant designs with horizontal microthreads in the collar produce less bone loss.

I have discussed this with a number of dentists who place or restore these kinds of dental implants. The common consensus seems to be that this kind of design over time does not lead to much crestal bone loss. Is that your experience with these implants?
