Does it make a difference for the lifespan/health of my camera whether I use silent or normal shutter?

Using silent shutter in vertical led to catastrophic failure. Happened twice. Third time I noticed the change in the sound of the mechanism and switched back to normal and I don't recall replacing the shutter on that body again. Definitely no issue on 5DmkIII several hundred thousands of frames with probably between 1/3 and 1/2 of them being silent.
