A 10‐year prospective clinical and radiographic study of one‐stage dental implants

Abstract

This study confirms that the mean crestal bone loss rates of the HS and HC implants are well within the clinically acceptable parameters. In addition, some of the clinical parameters could be used to assess and predict future crestal bone loss.

Evaluation of survival and success rates of dental implants reported in longitudinal studies with a follow-up period of at least 10 years: a systematic review

“…As a result of the analysis, four studies 33,35,41,42 were classified as having a high risk of bias. Therefore, with a view to including only studies with reliable methodological quality, these articles were excluded from the review.…”

Randomized controlled clinical trial comparing two dental implants with different neck configurations

“…First the demonstrated stability of the one‐piece implant design, which has been widely reported in the literature and has demonstrated stable marginal bone levels 1 year after loading (0.1 mm) 5 years after loading (0.32 mm) and 10 years after loading (0.86 mm) Experimental studies comparing one versus two piece implants explained the higher early (before loading) bone loss of the two piece implants by the presence of a microgap at the implant to abutment connection which was amenable for contamination, followed by inflammation, and marginal bone loss . These differences in the bone level changes between placement and loading may also be explained by the consequences of abutment dis/reconnection.…”

Factors Associated With Crestal Bone Loss Following Dental Implant Placement in a Longitudinal Follow-up Study

“…In contrast, the 10-year prospective study by Kim et al 29 , evaluated crestal bone loss on one-stage dental implants and showed clinically acceptable bone loss. Also, the 8-year follow-up on the one-stage surgical approach for screw-retained full-arch prostheses in maxilla showed minimal crestal bone loss of 0.3 mm +/-0.72 mm.…”

“…27 The rate of bone loss after implant placement is greater during the initial healing phase and then the rate slows down. [28][29][30] A direct relationship exists between spontaneously early, cover-screw perforation and early crestal bone loss. 31 These studies suggest that thicker gingival tissue on crestal bone has lesser bone changes, and stresses the importance of good closure of the gingival flap to minimize the increase in bone loss due to early implant exposure to the oral cavity.…”
