Implant and Prosthodontic Survival Rates with Implant Fixed Complete Dental Prostheses in the Edentulous Mandible after at Least 5 Years: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Treatment with mandibular IFCDPs yields high implant and prosthodontic survival rates (more than 96% after 10 years). Rough surface implants exhibited cumulative survival rates similar to the smooth surface ones (p > .05) in the edentulous mandible. The number of supporting implants and the antero-posterior implant distribution had no influence (p > .05) on the implant survival rate. The prosthetic design and veneering material, the retention type, and the loading protocol (delayed, early, and immediate) had no influence (p > .05) on the prosthodontic survival rates.

Impact of fixed implant supported prostheses in edentulous patients: protocol for a systematic review

“…Dental implants represent a proven treatment modality for restoration of edentulous jaws 5. Several factors play a role in the decision between fixed and removable implant dentures, such as inter-foraminal space, inter-jaw relationship, oral hygiene, costs and patient preferences 6…”

“…This leads to a feeling of insecurity, inefficient mastication and overall dissatisfaction with their prosthesis. 4 Therapy with dental implants is being used on a large scale to replace missing teeth and Strengths and limitations of this study ▪ This will be the first systematic review to assess the impact of implant supported prostheses in edentulous patients on their oral health, quality of life and satisfaction. ▪ This review aims to provide a high quality synthesis of current evidence for patients and clinicians about this question.…”

“…3 Placement of endosseous dental implants to retain and support overdentures or fixed complete dentures has been developed as a method for solving the problem of instability and lack of retention associated with conventional removable prostheses. 4 Improvement in retention and stability of the prosthetic rehabilitation through implant supported prostheses leads to enhanced speaking, swallowing and mastication ability and, therefore, improves patient comfort and satisfaction.…”

Improved Body Flexibility Following Removal of a Miniscrew Implant

“…Risks and complications associated with implant therapy have been divided into those that occur during surgery (e.g., an infection at the implant site; injury or damage to the surrounding structures, such as other teeth or blood vessels; nerve damage, which can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in natural teeth, gums, lips or chin; and sinus problems when dental implants placed in the upper jaw protrude into the sinus cavity) [1], within the first 6 months following surgery (including an infection and failure to osseointegrate), and over the long-term (including peri-implantitis and mechanical failure) [2]. In the presence of healthy tissues, a well-osseointegrated implant with appropriate biomechanical loads can have long-term success rates of 93% -98% for the fixture [3] [4] [5] and a lifespan of 10 -15 years for the prosthetic teeth [6]. However, even…”

The synergistic effect of TiO₂ nanoporous modification and platelet-rich plasma treatment on titanium-implant stability in ovariectomized rats

“…But associated low bone mass, wear and loss characteristics, and high coefficients of friction have limited their long-term stability, especially in certain abnormal intraosseous conditions, such as postmenopausal osteoporosis, which is characterized by low osseous mass and microenvironmental disruption of bones. [1][2][3] Under these circumstances, the stability of implants depends on two aspects: 1) the osseous microenvironment around the implant, resting with the quality and quantity of the bone substance; and 2) the osseointegration (OI) of the implant, defined as the performance of direct bone-implant interface bonding. 4 Many attempts, such as drug…”
