Discussion : Mucositis, peri-implantitis, and survival and success rates of oxide-coated implants in patients treated for periodontitis 3- to 6-year results of a case-series study [2]
These results from long-term clinical studies indicate that oxide-coated implants achieve equivalent survival rates and prevalence of mucositis and peri-implantitis when compared to implants with other surface characteristics. They support the assumption that the implant surface has little influence on the development of mucositis or peri-implantitis. This was subsequently confirmed in a Cochrane review, where in clinical long-term studies no evidence could be found that any specific type of implant system or surface modification conferred superior long-term success [1].
The findings of the present clinical study also allow us to put the previous results obtained from animal studies into context [13,14,15]. These studies analyzed the effects of ligature-induced peri-implantitis in implants with different surface characteristics placed in Labrador dogs. The results revealed increased marginal bone loss and more soft tissue destruction surrounding oxide-coated implants as compared to implants with other surfaces. These animal studies were subject to critical review [34], with the authors identifying shortcomings pertaining to the statistical analyses. Due to the small number of animals examined (six dogs), it is not possible to draw any valid conclusion regarding clinical application in human subjects. It is also apparent that the results of such animal studies are not wholly predictive of the human scenario [35].
