Long‐term evaluation ofAstraTech andBrånemark implants in patients treated with full‐arch bridges. Results after 12–15 years

Abstract

Treatment with Astra Tech TiOblast implants and Brånemark turned implants supporting full-arch bridges showed generally good clinical results with low numbers of implants with marginal bone loss indicative of peri-implantitis. No significant differences were found between the implant systems after 12-15 years in function.

Evaluation of survival and success rates of dental implants reported in longitudinal studies with a follow-up period of at least 10 years: a systematic review

“…After evaluating each article, 23 studies published between the years 1999 and 2014 were selected. 3,6,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]34,[36][37][38][39][40][43][44][45][46][47][48] The most frequent reason for exclusion was a follow-up period of less than 10 years. Of the potential studies for inclusion (n = 59), 36 were excluded after careful analysis.…”

“…Two studies did not relate the number of drop-outs. 3,44 In 19 studies, 3,6,[24][25][26][27][30][31][32]34,[36][37][38][39][40]43,45,47,48 the implants were placed in healed sockets using the standard surgical protocol, in accordance with the principles described by Brånemark et al 49 In two studies, 28,29 immediate implants were placed with immediate prosthetic loading as well. In two studies, 44,46 the implants were placed in healed sockets, however there was early prosthetic loading.…”

Treatment of peri‐implantitis: clinical outcome of chloramine as an adjunctive to non‐surgical therapy, a randomized clinical trial

“…Dental implants have been used with great success in most patients, with a survival rate of 95% over a 10-year period (Adell et al 1981;Rasmusson et al 2005;Ravald et al 2013). However, studies have shown biological complications such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis with a high prevalence (Zitzmann & Berglundh 2008;Koldsland et al 2010;MirMari et al 2012).…”

Raloxifene enhances peri-implant bone healing in osteoporotic rats

“…Osseointegration has been observed only after loading. [21][22][23][24] Therefore, future studies should be performed to assess the effects of these medications on the load-bearing ability of the interface, associated with micromotions applied transcutaneously to the implants during bone repair. Similar studies have been performed previously by Wazen et al 25 Currently, there are no reports in the literature showing statistically significant differences among osteoporotic patients rehabilitated with dental implants.…”
