Retrospective Multicenter Evaluation of Tapered Implant With a Sandblasted and Acid-Etched Surface at 1 to 4 Years of Function

Abstract

This retrospective, multicenter study demonstrates that this dental implant system gives clinically reliable results.

Effect of implant neck design on primary and secondary implant stability in the posterior maxilla: A prospective randomized controlled study

“…The concern was that it may cause a higher than otherwise observed MBL around the implants. Nevertheless, the MBL values of the present study (0.5–0.54 mm) were in agreement with the values found in other clinical studies under normal conditions (Bae et al, ; Tandlich, Ekstein, Reisman, & Shapira, ). This seems to suggest that the frequent removal of the healing abutment did not have a noticeable deleterious effect on the crestal loss.…”

Dental implants inserted in fresh extraction sockets versus healed sites: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Five RCTs, 2,14-17 twenty-six CCTs, 4,7,8, and forty-two retrospective analyses 3,5,6,9, were included in the meta-analysis. Sixteen studies 5,14,18,19,23,27,33,34,39,45,54,57,59,60,63,77 were multicenter.…”

“…Twelve studies 8,14,32,34,35,38,65,66,69,71,73,77 informed whether there was a statistically significant difference or not in the implant failure rates between the procedures. Forty-four studies 2,3,[6][7][8]14,16,17,20,22,24,26,27,29,[32][33][34][35][36]39,40,44,46,49,52,53,[55][56][57]59,[61][62][63][64][65][66][69][70][71][73]…”

“…Patients were submitted to grafting procedures at the implant site in thirty-five studies. 2,9,[14][15][16]18,20,21,23,26,29,33,36,37,39,41,42,44,45,53,57,[60][61][62][63][64][67][68][69][72][73][74][76][77][78] Implants were inserted exclusively in maxillae in seventeen studies 2,16,20,27,31,[33][34][35]37,38,52,53,59,66,71,72,74 and in mandibles in six stu...…”

“…Thirty-five studies provided information about marginal bone loss, but only fifteen studies2,8,24,27,[32][33][34][35][37][38][39]41,61,63,67,74 reported the mean and standard deviation values separated by group, necessary for the performance of the meta-analysis of a continuous outcome.…”
