A Non-Interventional Study Documenting Use and Success of Tissue Level Implants

Abstract

<jats:p>Numerous randomised controlled multicentric studies have investigated various responses to different treatment modalities with dental implants. These studies do not always show the results of daily practice as they are performed under controlled and strict clinical conditions. This multicentric, non-interventionist trial aimed to document the behaviour of implants when used in daily dental practice, without inclusion or exclusion criteria. One hundred and ninety-six screw-shaped, tissue-level implants were placed, and each clinician decided which implant, surgical loading and prosthetic protocol to use. At surgery, data related to the implants were recorded. Additionally, the crestal bone level changes were evaluated for up to two years of follow-up. Two implants were lost before they were loaded. The success rate was 98.31%, and the survival rate was 98.79%. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) at surgery was 68.61 ± 10.35 and at 2 years was 74.39 ± 9.64. The crestal–shoulder distances were 1.25 ± 1.09 mm and 1.68 ± 1.07 mm in the mesial and distal aspects on the day of surgery, respectively, and 2.04 ± 0.91 and 2.16 ± 0.99 mm at 2 years, respectively. At 2 years, 69.3% of the patients were highly satisfied. The use of implants under standard conditions seemed to have success rates similar to their placement in controlled studies.</jats:p>

One Abutment One Time: A Multicenter, Prospective, Controlled, Randomized Study

“…In Cornelini’s study [ 40 ], whose objective was to evaluate the success and stability of implants placed in posterior mandibular sectors associated with immediate loading at 12 months, results were observed on the day of surgery (72 ± 5.7 ISQ) and their evolution up to 12 months (74.5 ± 7.3 ISQ) concluded with results similar to ours, although they are not comparable due to the methodological differences between both studies. In a previous study of ours [ 41 ], with screw-shaped, tissue level implants (Essential Cone, Klockner Implant System, SOADCO, Engordany, Andorra) with two different collar heights (0.7 mm or 1.5 mm), high ISQ values were also obtained, which we consider to be directly related to the success of dental implant treatments. The ISQ on the day of the surgery was 68.61 ± 10.35; at 8 weeks, it was 70.61 ± 7.5; and at 2 years, it was 74.39 ± 9.64.…”

Enhanced osseointegration of drug eluting nanotubular dental implants: An in vitro and in vivo study

“…it is influenced by several factors including the implant's material, surface topography, geometrical features, and clinical factors. The reported survival rate of titanium dental implants is very high compared to other implanted devices [ [2] , [3] ]. Despite the favorable survival rates, the osseointegration process of titanium dental implants requires a longer healing period due to its bioinert properties [ 4 ].…”

Inserção Imediata De Implantes Versus Técnica Convencional: Uma Revisão De Literatura

“…No entanto, com a evolução da terapia com implantes e a necessidade de resultados funcionais e estéticos melhores, originou-se o protocolo de colocação imediata, o qual refere-se à inserção dos implantes em alvéolos frescos, reduzindo a quantidade de intervenções cirúrgicas e otimizando o resultado do tratamento 1,2. 3,4 .…”
