Evaluation of the Implant Success Rate of Titanium-based Implant Materials: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the success of implants, the increase of bone integration, and the effect of nanostructure/nanoparticles as Titanium-based implant materials on the success of implants. The present study evaluated the implant success rate of Titanium-based implant materials. Material and Methods: PICO: Population (dental implant), intervention (coated titanium implant surface), comparison (uncoated titanium implant surface), and outcome (bone-implant contact) were considered as a search strategy tool and study inclusion criteria. Searches for systematic literature were conducted on databases from Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, ISI, Web of Knowledge, and Embase until 12 December 2022. Modified CONSORT Criteria (Reporting guidelines for preclinical in vitro studies on dental materials) were used to evaluate the quality of studies. The fixed effect model and inverse-variance method were used to calculate the 95% confidence interval for mean differences. Stata/MP V.17 software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Results: After reviewing the abstracts of 97 articles, studies not related to the inclusion criteria were excluded, and ten studies were selected from the remaining 39 studies after reviewing the full text. The mean difference in boneimplant contact between coated and uncoated dental implants was 0.25 (MD, 0.25 95% CI 0.01, 0.49; p=0.04). Conclusion:The titanium implant surface with nano coating can increase bone-implant contact and cause bone integration.
