The non-removal of an abutment placed at the time of surgery results in a statistically significant reduction of the horizontal bone remodeling around the immediately restored, subcrestally placed, tapered implant in cases of partial posterior mandibular edentulism.
Positive results in terms of bone maintenance in the long-term perspective are to be expected using immediately loaded implants with a TiUnite porous anodized surface in both postextractive and healed sites when adequate levels of oral hygiene are kept.
Implant placement into extraction sockets can result in favorable radiological results even in the presence of evident alterations of the buccal bone wall.
The nonremoval of abutments placed at the time of the surgery improves the stability of healed soft and hard tissues around the immediately restored, subcrestally placed tapered single maxillary implant.
In the rehabilitation of a single missing lateral maxillary incisor, no statistically significant difference was assessed between immediately and one-stage restored small-diameter implants with regard to implant survival, mean marginal bone loss, and probing depth. Three-millimeter-diameter implants proved to be a predictable treatment option in our test and control groups if a strict clinical protocol was followed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
