Purpose

The preservation of peri-implant bone is one requirement for long-term success of dental implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of subcrestal placement on the crestal bone level of immediate versus delayed placed implants after loading.

Materials and methods

In this retrospective study, data of 159 patients who received 330 implants was analyzed. Implants were placed subcrestally, crestally or supracrestally into fresh sockets or healed sites. Vertical bone level height was assessed radiographically and implants were followed up annually. The influence of patient and implant related risk factors for peri-implant bone loss was evaluated using a linear mixed model.

Results

Depth of implant placement was significantly correlated with peri-implant bone loss (P = 0.001, 95% CI). Least effective loss of crestal bone was determined when implants were placed between 1 mm and 1.99 mm subcrestally. Smoking significantly enhanced the risk of peri-implant bone loss (P = 0.04, 95% CI). Immediate implant placement was not positively correlated with peri-implant bone loss (P = 0.51, 95% CI).

Conclusion

Within the limits of this study, implant placement 1.08 mm subcrestally may be recommendable in order to avoid supracrestal expositions of platform-switched titanium implants over time.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Implant placement in the anterior regions is often challenging because of limited space and bone volume availability.

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to investigate the accuracy of computer-guided surgery with a long drill key to place implants in the anterior regions.

Material and methods

Computer-guided implant surgery was performed for 32 participants requiring implants in anterior regions. The procedure involved using a 12-mm-long drill key to guide the 2.0-mm-diameter drill. Deviations between the planned and actual implant positions were evaluated by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans obtained before and after surgery. A t test was used for comparisons between the planned and placed implants and to determine the influence of the arch (maxilla/mandible) and time (immediate/delayed) on accuracy.

Results

A total of 40 implants (20 implants in the maxilla and 20 implants in the mandible) were placed. The mean linear deviation was 0.46 mm (range, 0 to 1.15 mm) for the implant shoulder and 0.67 mm (range, 0.14 to 1.19 mm) for the implant apex. The mean angular deviation was 1.40 degrees (range, 0.30 to 2.57 degrees). The mean depth deviation was 0.15 mm (range, 0.10 to 0.82 mm).

Conclusions

This clinical study showed that the accuracy of computer-guided implant placement may be enhanced by using a long drill key and may thus enable more accurate implant placement in anterior regions.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate the long-term outcome of dental implants placed with a staged procedure in resorbed alveolar ridges reconstructed with iliac crest autogenous onlay grafts.

Materials and methods

All consecutive patients treated with iliac crest onlay bone grafts and dental implants were retrospectively evaluated. During the appointment, clinical and radiological examinations were conducted to assess implant survival. A survived implant was defined as an implant still stable and in function at the follow-up visit. Implant survival was estimated at the implant level using Kaplan-Meier analyses. The cumulative survival rate was estimated using a life-table analysis. Subgroup analyses were performed for age, position, and type of retention using the log-rank test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

The cohort consisted of 21 female subjects receiving a total of 140 rough-surface titanium implants. Of them, 128 survived and 12 failed, yielding a cumulative survival rate of 91.1% over a median survival time of 312 months. Implants supporting cement-retained prostheses exhibithed lower survival rate compared to screw-retained restorations (p = 0.001).

Conclusion

Implants placed in bone augmented with iliac crest onlay grafts showed high long-term survival rates. Cement-retained restorations were more prone to develop implant failures.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Implant-based prosthetic solutions can be time consuming. If implants can be loaded immediately, treatment time can be reduced.

Purpose

The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to monitor the survival rate of Ankylos implants, comparing conventional with immediate loading by using abutments with the SynCone concept for screw-retained removable prostheses in the edentulous maxilla.

Material and methods

A total of 90 implants were placed in 15 study participants. The participants were randomly assigned to the immediate or conventional loading treatment group. Radiographic and clinical parameters were recorded at the time of permanent prosthesis installment and at 1- and 2-year follow-up examinations, and participants’ satisfaction was measured by using questionnaires before and after prosthesis installation. A linear mixed model was used to measure differences.

Results

One implant in the conventional group was lost during abutment placement; hence, 89 implants could be followed for 2 years. Approximately 90% of these implants showed no bone loss or even bone gain at 1 and 2 years follow-up. Mean values for the immediate group were, respectively, 0.09 ±0.35 mm and 0.13 ±0.38 mm and 0.01 ±0.41 mm and ?0.06 ±0.32 mm for the conventional method. No significant differences (P=.053) were found in bone level alterations between the groups. For all participants, the mean number of surfaces (4 per implant) with bleeding on probing (BoP) and plaque were 0.76 ±0.81 and 0.16 ±0.42 at 1 year follow-up and 0.44 ±0.66 and 0.02 ±0.15, respectively, at the second-year follow-up. The mean pocket probing depths were 2.05 ±0.54 mm at 1 year and 2.18 ±0.64 mm at 2 years. For both groups, a significant rise in satisfaction and quality of life was observed (P≤.001) at 1 and 2 years compared with pretreatment.

Conclusions

Ankylos implants placed in the edentulous maxilla, immediately or conventionally loaded by a detachable prosthesis, showed favorable bone-level preservation after 2 years of follow-up. No significant differences could be found between the immediate and conventional groups. A significant increase in quality of life was observed for both loading modes.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Identifying factors that affect the clinical outcomes of implant therapy is important.

Purpose

The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine whether implant location was a factor affecting the complication and failure rates of single-tooth implant-supported restorations in a predoctoral setting.

Material and methods

The charts of 431 patients treated with a surgically placed dental implant and restored with a single crown in the predoctoral clinic were analyzed. Data on implant location, type of complication (surgical or prosthetic), and type of failure were collected and analyzed according to implant location using the Fisher Exact Test and Mantel-Haenszel Exact Chi Square Test analysis (α=.05).

Results

The charts revealed 158 complications (68 surgical and 90 prosthetic) in 110 patients, and 3.9% of the implants failed. No statistically significant difference was found between the number of surgical complications or prosthetic complications in the maxilla and the mandible (P=.469).

Conclusions

Jaw location (maxilla compared with mandible) of the implant had no statistically significant impact on the incidence of surgically or prosthetically related complications. No statistically significant difference was found in overall implant failures, surgical failures, and prosthetic failures between maxillary and mandibular implants.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The design of porous tantalum trabecular metal–enhanced titanium (TM) dental implants promises improved osseointegration, especially when grafting materials such as demineralized bone matrix are used; however, studies are lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare TM implants with conventional titanium alloy (Ti) implants with and without demineralized bone matrix in terms of peri-implant bone remodeling in the first year after implant loading.

Material and methods

A chart review was used for all patients receiving Tapered Screw-Vent Ti and TM implants. Implants were placed and restored by a single provider between 2011 and 2015. Peri-implant bone remodeling was compared by using a paired t test (α=.05).

Results

A total of 82 patients received 205 implants, 44 TM and 161 Ti implants (control). No implants failed in the TM group (survival rate of 100%), and 3 implants in total, 1 immediate, failed in the Ti groups (survival rate of 98.1%). TM implants exhibited a 0.28-mm bone gain on average, whereas the control group demonstrated 0.20 mm of marginal bone loss after the first year of implant loading. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the odds of having bone loss was 64% less (odds ratio: 0.36; 95% confidence interval: 0.14-0.94) in the TM group than in the Ti group after controlling for bone grafting, implant location, immediate placement, bone type, and pretreatment bone level.

Conclusions

TM implants exhibited less peri-implant bone loss than the control Ti implants.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Different factors influence the degree of deviation in dental implant position after computed tomography–guided surgery. The surgical guide–manufacturing process with desktop 3D printers is such a factor, but its accuracy has not been fully evaluated.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the deviation in final dental implant position after the use of surgical guides fabricated from 2 different desktop 3D printers using a digital workflow.

Material and methods

Twenty 3D-printed resin models were prepared with missing maxillary premolar. After preoperative planning, 10 surgical guides were produced with a stereolithography printer and 10 with a digital light-processing (DLP) printer. A guided surgery was performed; 20 dental implants (3.8×12 mm) were installed, and a digital scan of the dental implants was made. Deviations between the planned and final position of the dental implants were evaluated for both the groups.

Results

A statistically significant difference between stereolithography and DLP were found for deviation at entry point (P=.023) and the vertical implant position (P=.009). Overall lower deviations were found for the guides from the DLP printer, with the exception of deviation in horizontal implant position.

Conclusions

The tested desktop 3D printers were able to produce surgical guides with similar deviations with regard to the final dental implant position, but the DLP printer proved more accurate concerning deviations at entry point and vertical implant position.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Short implants have been increasingly used in the aging society. However, studies which explain the difference of stress distribution according to different connections in short implant treatment are scarce.

Purpose

The purpose of this finite element (FE) analysis was to evaluate the stress and strain distribution of short implants and surrounding bone under static and cyclic loading conditions with 4 different connections.

Material and methods

Three-dimensional models of 4 types of implant systems were considered: internal tissue level, internal tissue level wide, internal bone level (IB), and external bone level. Each system had different types of abutment, implant, and screw with the resorbed mandibular segment of the bone block. Static FE analysis was performed under external loads of 200 N (vertical or 30-degree oblique) to each cusp tip. The strain distributions of the peri-implant bone and von Mises stress fields in the abutment, implant, and screw were evaluated. Based on the static FE results, a computational fatigue analysis was performed to predict the risk of fracture caused by fatigue accumulation of repetitive mastication.

Results

Bone tissues in fatigue failure level (greater than 4000 με) were observed in the alveolar ridge and the plateaus close to the implant apex in all situations. Under the oblique loading condition, the total volume of the bone tissue in hypertrophy and fatigue failure levels (greater than 2500 με) was the largest at IB and the smallest at external bone level. Among the 4 situations, the highest stress occurred in the abutment (506.9 MPa) and implant (311 MPa) of IB. In fatigue analysis, fracture was only predicted in the IB abutment model (588?301 cycles), and cracking occurred in the lingual direction, where stress concentration occurred when the oblique load was applied.

Conclusions

The abutment of IB showed the highest stress of the implant component, and internal tissue level model showed the highest strain of bone. In all groups, the bone strain values mostly appeared within physiologic capacity (under 4000 με). Various mechanical situations should be considered when using internal bone-level connections in short implants for replacing posterior teeth.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Dental implants can be essential in the rehabilitation of various cancer defects, but their ideal placement can be complicated by the limited dimensions of the available host bone. Surgical interventions developed to increase the amount of bone are not all predictable or successful and can sometimes be contraindicated. Short dental implants have been suggested as an alternative option in sites where longer implants are not possible. Whether they provide a successful treatment option is unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to review the literature on short dental implants and assess whether they are a viable definitive treatment option for rehabilitating cancer patients with deficient bone.

Material and methods

A scoping review of the literature was performed, including a search of established periodontal textbooks for articles on short dental implants combined with a search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. A search for all literature published before June 2016 was based on the following keywords: [‘dental implants’ OR ‘dental implantation, endosseous’ OR ‘dental prosthesis, implant supported’] AND [short].

Results

The minimum acceptable implant length has been considered to be 6 mm. The survival rates of short implants varied between 74% and 96% at 5 years, depending on factors such as the quality of the patient’s bone, primary stability of the implant, clinician’s learning curve, and implant surface. Short implants can achieve results similar to those of longer implants in augmented bone and offer a treatment alternative that could reduce the need for invasive surgery and associated morbidity and be safer and more economical.

Conclusions

Short dental implants (6 mm to 8 mm) can be used successfully to support single or multiple fixed reconstructions or overdentures in atrophic maxillae and mandibles. The use of short dental implants lessens the need for advanced and complicated surgical bone augmentation procedures, which reduces complications, costs, treatment time, and morbidity. Short implants could be an alternative in the rehabilitation of patients with cancer.  相似文献

Purpose

Microvascular fibula flap surgery is a reliable and effective procedure for reconstructing the jaws after tumour surgery. This procedure allows the placement of dental implants after bone consolidation. This study was designed to evaluate the oral, functional, and aesthetic rehabilitation of tumour patients with immediate fibula transfer and dental implants and included assessment of diet, speech, and aesthetics.

Materials and methods

The study included 34 patients who underwent ablative tumour surgery and immediate jaw reconstruction using a fibula free flap with consecutive rehabilitation by dental implants. In total, 134 implants were inserted into the transferred fibula. The functional and aesthetic results were assessed using a questionnaire. Implant loss and oral excursion were compared with diet type, speech ability, functionality, and patient satisfaction.

Results

Of the 34 patients included in this study, 33 completed the questionnaire. Twenty-six patients (76%) could eat normally without the limitation of a hard or soft diet, 73% could speak intelligibly, and 31 rated the aesthetic result from good to excellent.

Conclusion

The fibula flap with the early application of endosseous implants allowed primary immediate reconstruction of the jaw, significantly leading to functional and aesthetic satisfaction in patients who underwent ablative tumour surgery.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Nonrigid retainer systems for removable implant superstructures are associated with negative effects such as rocking and increased load on the denture base. Rigid retainer systems such as telescopic crowns reduce these negative effects, but their fabrication demands highly skilled dental technicians and is therefore expensive. Whether a protocol with prefabricated retainers will reduce production time is unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this prospective clinical trial was to evaluate a prefabricated telescopic retainer and a treatment protocol including the intraoral luting of a framework.

Material and methods

A total of 23 participants (15 women and 8 men with a mean age of 61.6 ±2.9 years) were included. After 3 dropouts, 21 removable dentures (9 mandibular and 12 maxillary) retained by 91 delayed loaded Ankylos implants were investigated. All implants were restored with prefabricated conically shaped abutments (SynCone-abutment). The prefabricated corresponding cone matrix was assembled intraorally into a metal frame with autopolymerizing resin. After a loading period of 3 years, a follow-up examination investigated the fit of the framework, the prosthetic aftercare, the technical failures, and the retention force. A questionnaire was used to evaluate participant satisfaction. In addition, laboratory fabrication time and costs were compared with those of individually fabricated restorations.

Results

One mandibular implant was lost after 25 months (survival rate, 98.9%). The removable dentures showed no apparent rocking and minimal prosthetic maintenance during the 36-month trial. No dentures required relining. The retention force was scored as good in 17 participants and high (with 6 implants in the maxilla) and low (with 2 implants in the mandible) in 2 participants each. No technical failures occurred. An assessment of laboratory fabrication time and costs revealed reduced time and costs. Patient satisfaction was significantly increased (P<.001) over the entire observation time.

Conclusions

The SynCone retainer presented a time- and cost-efficient treatment option with sufficient long-term retention for removable dentures and high patient satisfaction. Mandibular prostheses restored with 2 implants had limited success.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Conventional guided implant surgery promises clinical success through implant placement accuracy; however, it requires multiple drills along with surgical sleeves and sleeve adapters for the horizontal and vertical control of osteotomy drills. This results in cumbersome surgery, problems with patients having limited mouth opening, and restriction to specific drill or implant manufacturers. A protocol for using trephination drills to simplify guided surgery and accommodate multiple implant systems is introduced.

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the accuracy of implant placement using this novel guided trephine drill protocol with and without a surgical sleeve.

Material and methods

Intraoral scanning and preoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were used for implant treatment planning. Surgical guides were fabricated using stereolithography. Implant surgery was performed using the guided trephination protocol with and without a surgical sleeve. Postoperative CBCT scans were used to measure the implant placement deviations rather than the implant planning position. Surgical placement time and patient satisfaction were also documented. One-tailed t test and F-test (P=.01) were used to determine statistical significance.

Results

Thirty-five implants in 17 participants were included in this study. With a surgical sleeve, implant positional deviations were 0.51 ±0.13 mm vertically, 0.32 ±0.10 mm facially, 0.11 ±0.11 mm lingually, and 0.38 ±0.13 mm mesially. Without a surgical sleeve, implant positional deviations were 0.58 ±0.27 mm vertically, 0.3 ±0.14 mm facially, 0.39 ±0.16 mm lingually, and 0.41 ±0.12 mm mesially. No statistically significant difference was found between the 2 protocols (P>.01), except that the sleeve group had greater vertical control precision (F-test, P=.006), reduced placement time, and the time variation was reduced (t test, P=.003; F-test, P<.001).

Conclusions

This trephination-based, guided implant surgery protocol produces accurate surgical guides that permit guided surgery in limited vertical access and with the same guided surgery protocol for multiple implant systems. Guided sleeves, although not always necessary, improve depth control and reduce surgical time in implant placement.  相似文献

Introduction

Currently, no study has compared the outcome of nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) and single-tooth implants (STIs) provided to the same patient. The purpose of this study was to determine if the survival outcome of the 2 treatment modalities is different.

Methods

The medical/dental records of 3671 patients with at least 1 STI and 1 NSRCT were reviewed. One hundred seventy patients with at least a 5-year follow-up were included. The survival outcome of NSRCT and STI and related factors were evaluated.

Results

Both treatments had a 95% survival rate with a mean 7.5-year follow-up. Most preoperative and postoperative factors involved in both procedures had no significant effect on the treatment outcomes. The number of adjunct and additional treatments, the number of appointments, the elapsed time before the final restoration, the number of prescribed medications, and the cost of the treatment were significantly higher for STI in comparison with NSRCT.

Conclusions

Both NSRCT and STI are highly successful treatments. Compromised teeth that could otherwise be saved by NSRCTs and deemed restorable should not routinely be treatment planned for STI.  相似文献

Background

Promoting the directional attachment of gingiva to the dental implant leads to the formation of tight connective tissue which acts as a seal against the penetration of oral bacteria. Such a directional growth is mostly governed by the surface texture.

Material and methods

In this study, three different methods, mechanical structuring, chemical etching and laser treatment, have been explored for their applicability in promoting cellular attachment and alignment of human primary gingival fibroblasts (HGFIBs).

Results

The effectiveness of mechanical structuring was shown as a simple and a cost-effective method to create patterns to align HGIFIBs.

Conclusion

Combining mechanical structuring with chemical etching enhanced both cellular attachment and the cellular alignment.  相似文献

Purpose

Successful implant therapy is based on fast, safe, and predictable osseointegration. Several surface modifications have been introduced to improve the bone-to-implant interaction. This in vivo study evaluates the impact of plasma surface conditioning on early wound healing and osseointegration.

Materials and methods

A total of 16 dental implants with a sand-blasted and acid-etched surface were conditioned with cold atmospheric plasma prior to insertion in the frontal bone of four miniature pigs. Sequential fluorescence labeling was administered to label bone metabolism, and after 8 weeks, bone blocks were harvested for radiological, histological, and histomorphometrical evaluation.

Results

The plasma conditioning had no impact on the morphology of the implant surface. The bone-to-implant contact ratio was 90.4% and 86.5%, the interthread bone density 72.5% and 63.4%, and the periimplant bone density 60.5% and 61.1%, in the plasma conditioned group and control group, respectively. Concentric bands of fluorescence enrichment indicated a chronological and homogenous mineralization of newly formed bone. No unwanted periimplant side effects were detected.

Conclusion

The increased parameters for osseointegration in this in vivo study merit further investigation in prospective clinical trials.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Techniques that allow angulation correction for screw-retained implant-supported restorations are now available. However, whether angulation correction built into the head of the implant affects abutment screw loosening is unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess abutment screw loosening in angulation-correcting implants and straight implants subjected to simulated nonaxial occlusal loading.

Material and methods

Seven external connection 12-degree angulation-correcting implants and 7 straight implants were embedded in an acrylic resin housing, and titanium abutments were secured with titanium screws tightened to 32 Ncm. Each specimen was secured in a tooth wear machine and subjected to 1?000?000 cycles of 50-N nonaxial load to simulate 1 year of clinical service. The mean abutment screw removal torque values were calculated, and the association between number of cycles and the abutment screw removal torque was analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model and statistical software (α=.05)

Results

The mean abutment screw torque loss was 59.8% for the angulation-correcting implant group and 68.7% for the straight implant group. A statistically significantly greater mean abutment screw removal torque was recorded in the angulation-correcting implant group compared with the straight implant group after 1?000?000 cycles (P=.019).

Conclusions

A significant loss of abutment screw torque was found in both implant groups with increased cycles of occlusal loading. The angulation-correcting implants resisted screw loosening significantly more than the straight implants because of the reduced angle of abutment screw loading.  相似文献

Objective

Cranioplasty is indicated to restore form and function of bone defects of the neurocranium. Autografts are the gold standard, alloplastic materials are used when autologous bone is unavailable or unsuitable, and increasing evidence supports the use of patient-specific implants (PSIs) for reconstruction. We reviewed our own patient data to assess pre- and intraoperative aspects, complications and costs in patients that were treated with PSIs from titanium or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for skull bone reconstruction.

Methods

We retrospectively evaluated all patients receiving a PSI as at least a secondary reconstruction between 2004 and 2016 at Maastricht University Medical Center. These cases were analyzed for demographics, perioperative surgical and medical aspects, as well as costs.

Results

In total 30 patients received PSIs, of which 20 were included in this study. Duration of PSI placement was not statistically different between group I, where previously placed reconstruction material was still in situ, and group II, where no remaining previously placed reconstruction material was present (group I: 104 ± 27 mins, group II: 86 ± 36 mins; p = 0.27). Postoperatively, 2 patients experienced complications (10%). Costs of obtaining the PSIs were not significantly different between group I and group II (group I: mean EUR 7536 ± 2759, group II: mean EUR 8351 ± 2087, p = 0.51).

Conclusion

Treatment of skull bone defects in repeated reconstruction requires an optimal preoperative planning and intraoperative procedure. In this retrospective study comparing repeatedly reconstructed cases with and without remaining previously placed reconstruction material present at the surgical site, we could not find significant differences in the duration of the surgical procedure nor costs of obtaining the PSIs. The protocol followed at MUMC for preoperative planning, manufacturing, and surgery, represents the current state-of-the-art treatment.  相似文献

Statement of problem

With the increased number of published systematic reviews and in view of their wide clinical applicability, these studies must be carefully assessed before professionals begin to use their recommendations in daily practice, and above all, the methodological quality of this study design must be considered. In implant dentistry, one topic that has been arousing particular interest is the immediate placement of dental implants into infected sites.

Purpose

The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the methodological quality of systematic reviews that evaluated the immediate placement of dental implants into infected sites.

Material and methods

A systematic search was performed by 2 independent reviewers of PubMed, LILACS, and ISI Web of Knowledge up to March 2016. All selected articles were published in the English language. Systematic reviews of original papers that assessed the immediate placement of dental implants into infected sites were eligible for the overview. Narrative reviews, randomized clinical trials, and case reports were excluded. Methodological quality assessment was performed using A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews.

Results

Of the 5 selected systematic reviews, 3 were low methodological quality and 2 were assessed as moderate. None were high methodological quality. The first systematic review of the topic was published in 2010, and the most recent, published in 2015, was the only one that performed meta-analysis.

Conclusions

The systematic reviews that assessed the immediate placement of dental implants into infected sites were assessed as low or moderate methodological quality. The topic focus remains controversial because the implant survival rate, the main outcome considered for the implant placement prognosis, presents contradictory results.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Consensus is lacking regarding the optimal number of implants for supporting complete-arch prostheses with good survival rates and lower prosthetic complications and marginal bone loss.

Purpose

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the influence of the number of implants used for complete-arch prostheses with at least 5 years of follow-up.

Material and methods

A search was performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria and was registered in The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42016048468). The following was the population, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) question: Does the number of implants influence the longevity of complete-arch prostheses?

Results

Nineteen studies including 1006 patients with a mean age of 61.44 years were selected for evaluation. The number of implants per jaw ranged between 2 and 9 in the maxilla, mandible, or both jaws. For implant survival rate in complete-arch prostheses with fewer than 5 implants per jaw, the pooled weighted event rate was 1.4% (I2=25.26%; P=.211) and 4.2% (I2=81.35%; P<.001) for complete arches with more than 4 implants per jaw. For the prosthesis survival rate, the pooled weighted event rate for a complete-arch with fewer than 5 implants per jaw was 1.5% (I2=0%; P=.677) and 9% (I2=17.33%; P=.304) for complete arches with more than 4 implants per jaw. For prosthesis complications for complete arches with fewer than 5 implants per jaw, the pooled weighted event rate was 19.9% (I2=93.5%; P<.001) and 24.5% (I2=88.89; P<.001) for complete arches with more than 4 implants per jaw. The mean marginal bone loss for complete arches with fewer than 5 implants per jaw was 1.22 ±0.49 mm (I2=99.46; P<.001) and 1.46 ±0.46 mm (I2=99.6; P <.001) for more than 4 implants per jaw.

Conclusions

The current systematic review indicated no relationship of the number of implants used to support a complete-arch prosthesis with implant survival rate, prosthesis survival rate, prosthesis complications, or marginal bone loss in studies with follow-up periods of between 5 and 15 years.  相似文献

Purpose

Ablative oncological surgery to treat head-and-neck cancer often triggers a requirement for jaw reconstruction. Modern surgical procedures using free microvascular flaps afford acceptable outcomes in terms of restoration of bony and soft tissue defects. A fibula free flap is often the preferred flap, as the bone length is considerable and a two-surgeon approach is possible. Dental implants play important roles in functional rehabilitation. Our aim was to evaluate the survival of dental implants placed in reconstructed areas after transfer of fibula tissue to the jaw.

Materials and methods

We retrospectively studied 34 patients who underwent ablative tumour surgery and jaw reconstruction using osteocutaneous fibula free flaps and who then received dental implants. We evaluated implant survival and success, survival of the fibula flap, and clinical and radiographic data.

Results

We included 34 patients, 23 of whom were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma. In total, 134 dental implants were inserted in transferred fibula bone. The cumulative implant survival rate was 81%. The survival rate of the 34 fibula flaps transplanted after surgical reconstruction was 97%.

Conclusion

The insertion of endosseous implants after jaw reconstruction using vascularised fibula tissue yields successful dental rehabilitation in patients with oral cancers.  相似文献
