Fixed Implant‐Retained Rehabilitation of the Edentulous Maxilla: 11‐Year Results of a Prospective Study

Abstract

Within the limitation of this study, restoration of the edentulous maxilla with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis represents an effective tool for rehabilitation over a period of 11 years.

Retrospective Long-term Evaluation of Dental Implants in Totally and Partially Edentulous Patients. Part I

“…As in this study, several authors have found a significantly higher implant loss 19,20,26,[35][36][37] and increased bone loss 27,38-47 in smokers. As in this study, several authors have found a significantly higher implant loss 19,20,26,[35][36][37] and increased bone loss 27,38-47 in smokers.…”

“…Mertens et al 26 Other studies have found bone loss greater than 3 mm in between 1% and 13% of implants after 10 or more years of follow-up. 6,11,15,18,25,28 According to our results, it seems that certain factors may have an influence on long-term results of implants such as smoking, osteopenia or osteoporosis, check-up frequency, implant surface, length and position, and type of prosthesis.…”

An Up to 12‐Year Retrospective Follow‐Up on Immediately Loaded, Surface‐Modified Implants in the Edentulous Mandible

“…Chappuis and colleagues reported an 89.5% cummulative survival rate for the TPS implants after 20 years of follow‐up, with 92% of the implants losing less than 1 mm of bone. Similarly, excellent results were obtained with the TiOblast surface (Astra Tech, Mölndal, Sweden) up to 16 years of follow‐up, with survival rates ranging from 96% to 100% and limited bone loss up to 0.88 mm . However, these implant types have been discontinued and were replaced by new surface treatments.…”

La carga precoz de los implantes GMI con conexión interna y superficie arenada y grabada

“…En este sentido, los avances en el diagnóstico integral del paciente, en la planificación de tratamiento, en las téc-nicas quirúrgicas básicas y complejas, así como en las diversas opciones prostodóncicas (coronas, puentes, rehabilitaciones fijas y sobredentaduras) han desarrollado la implantología oral hasta convertirla en una terapéutica odontológica cotidiana (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6).…”

“…Posteriormente, el tratamiento implantológico ha sido aplicado a los pacientes con pérdida dental parcial y unitaria, demostrando ser una alternativa con éxito a las prótesis parciales removibles y fijas, tanto en el maxilar como en la mandíbula (4)(5)(6).…”
