A Screwless and Cementless Technique for the Restoration of Single‐Tooth Implants: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Survival and Complication Rates of Fixed Restorations Supported by Locking‐Taper Implants: A Prospective Study with 1 to 10 Years of Follow‐Up

“…The mechanical advantages of pure interference‐fit connection over external and internal hexagonal design have been reported in several in vitro studies, demonstrating that locking‐taper implants may resist eccentric loads and bending moments, ensuring a remarkable stability at the implant/abutment connection. Previous clinical studies with locking‐taper implants have confirmed a reduction of the incidence of prosthetic complications . However, no studies deal with the prosthetic complications encountered during the maintenance phase with these implants in the long term.…”

Clinical outcomes of ultrashort sloping shoulder implant design: A survival analysis

“…of longitudinal studies showed that the failure due to loss of follow up was 18%. As noted in the previous literatures in this study also all the implant failures were seen in early phases of treatment and follow up [6][7][8]. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical outcome of ultrashort (5 and 6 mm) sloping shoulder implants.Short implants have become very popular in recent years because of increased success rates and survival rates which are mainly attributed to implant design and structural features.…”

“…5 Short implants biocompatibly transfers occlusal forces from the abutment to the surrounding bone. 6 Among Bicon implants, sloping shoulder design facilitates the appropriate transfer of occlusal load to the bone when placed subcrestal, improves esthetic implant restorations, and provides space for the interdental papillae with the bony support. 5 The Bicon short implant system is a screwless implant system.…”

“…The entire design of short implant optimizes the effectiveness of each of the features within the available implant's surface area and length. 6 The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical outcome of ultrashort (5 and 6 mm) sloping shoulder implants. The plateau root-formed implant body provides 30% more surface area when compared with same-sized threaded implants.…”

“…It also provides sensible biological width and impressive bone maintenance 6. The studies on implant survival failed to characterize the cause of loss.…”
