This prospective observational multicenter study demonstrated successful functional and esthetic outcomes of the study implant restorations (single tooth restoration, fixed partial dentures) with reliable peri-implant hard and soft tissue stability and high patients’ satisfaction. The results are comparable with the outcome of already published controlled randomized clinical studies and retrospe...
In recent years, patients’ needs have increased in terms of the esthetic and functional outcome of the dental restoration. PROMs have been reported in several studies and represent a well-described non-invasive method to measure patient’s satisfaction with these needs; however, they might present a lack of standardization [39, 40] due to the very subjective view on esthetics or functionality o...
Changes in crestal bone level are well-documented in the literature. Bone remodeling is reported to take place between surgery and loading. The reported changes are generally around 0.5 mm [17, 27, 30] but can reach more than 1 mm [31] in randomized or observational trials. The present study is well in accordance with these findings with its bone remodeling of − 0.52 ± 0.55 mm. Nearly 45%...
Endosseous dental implants are a commonly accepted treatment procedure and showed high survival and success rates as well as good functional performance in numerous clinical trials and retrospective analyses, also for Conelog implants as for their specific implant surface [17, 23, 26]. However, in general, one could argue that results of controlled clinical studies do not reflect the real situatio...
Table 3 shows the mean bone level changes of the implants with available radiographs from insertion to 5-year post-loading. Bone remodeling around the implant was noticeable from surgery to loading, presenting a mean value of − 0.52 ± 0.55 mm. From loading to the 5-year follow-up, the mean change in crestal bone remained clinically stable (−0.09 ± 0.43 mm) (Fig. 3).

The study was started with 94 patients with 130 implants. At the end of the study (5-year post-loading), 76 patients with 104 implants were considered for analysis. Dropouts were distributed over the time of the study as described in Table 1. The majority of dropouts occurred early in the study phase. The reasons for the dropouts were variable as described in Fig. 1.

The study data, soft and hard tissue parameters as well as the PROMs were descriptively analyzed using IBM SPSS V25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA): Categorical variables were shown with frequencies and mean values were used for continuous variables. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan–Meier method. Time of loading was the study baseline as per protocol, and the statistical unit was the ...
Patients were scheduled to follow-ups at 6 months, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year post-loading for the assessment of the study parameter (Fig. 1). Depending on the investigators’ standard post-operative protocol, follow-up appointments were scheduled slightly differently: One center skipped the control visits at 6 months. Additionally, due to the observational character of the study and the pati...
This is an observational multicenter clinical study, approved by the ethics committee of the Freiburg ethics commission international (feci 010/1833).

A minimum of 90 to 100 patients were planned to be included...
Features of the chosen implant system for a study may also influence the outcome of the treatment: The degree of the manufacturer’s tolerances of implants with a conical implant-abutment connection heightens the risk of a mispositioning of the abutment, which cannot be corrected by repeated torqueing. Platform switching (PS) implants tend to have a protective effect on hard implant tissue outcom...
Many randomized controlled clinical trials have been published about dental implants. They have demonstrated long-term success in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients [1, 2] as well as patients with single or multiple teeth replacements [3, 4].
While this type of trials have an indispensable place in establishing a new product or a new operation technique regarding safety and efficacy, the r...
The interpretation of the results of randomized clinical trials is often questioned in relation with daily circumstances in practices. This prospective observational multicenter study was instigated to reflect the need for information in real-life situations with dental implants with internal conical implant-abutment connection (Conelog implant system). The implants were followed up at least 5-yea...

This prospective observational multicenter study demonstrated successful functional and esthetic outcomes of the study implant restorations (single tooth restoration, fixed partial dentures) with reliable peri-implant hard and soft tissue stability and high patients’ satisfaction. The results are comparable with the outcome of already published controlled randomized clinical studies and retrospe...
In recent years, patients’ needs have increased in terms of the esthetic and functional outcome of the dental restoration. PROMs have been reported in several studies and represent a well-described non-invasive method to measure patient’s satisfaction with these needs; however, they might present a lack of standardization [39, 40] due to the very subjective view on esthetics or functionality o...
Changes in crestal bone level are well-documented in the literature. Bone remodeling is reported to take place between surgery and loading. The reported changes are generally around 0.5 mm [17, 27, 30] but can reach more than 1 mm [31] in randomized or observational trials. The present study is well in accordance with these findings with its bone remodeling of − 0.52 ± 0.55 mm. Nearly 45%...
Endosseous dental implants are a commonly accepted treatment procedure and showed high survival and success rates as well as good functional performance in numerous clinical trials and retrospective analyses, also for Conelog implants as for their specific implant surface [17, 23, 26]. However, in general, one could argue that results of controlled clinical studies do not reflect the real situatio...
Table 3 shows the mean bone level changes of the implants with available radiographs from insertion to 5-year post-loading. Bone remodeling around the implant was noticeable from surgery to loading, presenting a mean value of − 0.52 ± 0.55 mm. From loading to the 5-year follow-up, the mean change in crestal bone remained clinically stable (−0.09 ± 0.43 mm) (Fig. 3).

The study was started with 94 patients with 130 implants. At the end of the study (5-year post-loading), 76 patients with 104 implants were considered for analysis. Dropouts were distributed over the time of the study as described in Table 1. The majority of dropouts occurred early in the study phase. The reasons for the dropouts were variable as described in Fig. 1.

The study data, soft and hard tissue parameters as well as the PROMs were descriptively analyzed using IBM SPSS V25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA): Categorical variables were shown with frequencies and mean values were used for continuous variables. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan–Meier method. Time of loading was the study baseline as per protocol, and the statistical unit was the ...
Patients were scheduled to follow-ups at 6 months, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year post-loading for the assessment of the study parameter (Fig. 1). Depending on the investigators’ standard post-operative protocol, follow-up appointments were scheduled slightly differently: One center skipped the control visits at 6 months. Additionally, due to the observational character of the study and the pati...
This is an observational multicenter clinical study, approved by the ethics committee of the Freiburg ethics commission international (feci 010/1833).

A minimum of 90 to 100 patients were planned to be included...
Features of the chosen implant system for a study may also influence the outcome of the treatment: The degree of the manufacturer’s tolerances of implants with a conical implant-abutment connection heightens the risk of a mispositioning of the abutment, which cannot be corrected by repeated torqueing. Platform switching (PS) implants tend to have a protective effect on hard implant tissue outcom...
Many randomized controlled clinical trials have been published about dental implants. They have demonstrated long-term success in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients [1, 2] as well as patients with single or multiple teeth replacements [3, 4].
While this type of trials have an indispensable place in establishing a new product or a new operation technique regarding safety and efficacy, the r...
The interpretation of the results of randomized clinical trials is often questioned in relation with daily circumstances in practices. This prospective observational multicenter study was instigated to reflect the need for information in real-life situations with dental implants with internal conical implant-abutment connection (Conelog implant system). The implants were followed up at least 5-yea...

Survival rates and stability of OSP and OSPTX implants was comparable.
Osteotomy preparation either by the standard or by the soft bone surgical protocol had no significant effect on implant survival, success, and stability.

Insertion torque presented a moderate to strong correlation with ISQ values at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year but not at time of implant insertion. This finding is in agreement with Acil et al. who reported no statistically significant correlation between insertion torque and ISQ at time of implant placement [22].
Although a strong correlation was found between insertion torque and bone loss at...
Augmentation of the maxillary sinus prior to dental implant placement is routinely performed in order to help patients restore their maxillary posterior dentition. Unfortunately, not all patients are candidates for this procedure due to either health, personal, or financial concerns. An alternative treatment without the need for a sinus elevation procedure is the use of a shorter implant. Research...
Overall implant survival rate was 93.3%. Two implants failed, one implant in group A (OSPTXSoft) and one in group B (OSPTXStd). Both implant failures occurred at the time of uncovery (at 6 weeks) and prior to loading of the implants and were attributed to lack of integration. With the exception of these two failed implants, there was 100% success for all remaining implants using the parameters de...
ANOVA was used to compare the mean implant stabilities between the three groups. Post hoc testing was done via Tukey’s honestly significant differences test to calculate the differences between ISQ measurements at the time of implant placement, 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months (Fig. 2) as well as bone levels at 6 and 12 months (Fig. 3). The correlations of multiple parameters such as insertion t...

A recent systematic review by Stocchero et al. concluded that an undersized drilling protocol in soft bone is an effective way to enhance insertion torque but recommended that further clinical studies are needed to confirm these data [18]. Our study was designed to address this question, as it compared the standard drilling protocol to a soft bone protocol.
Our study hypothesis is that the stabil...
Dental implants are now a widely accepted treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth. The therapeutic goal of dental implants is to support restorations that replace single or multiple missing teeth so as to provide patient comfort, function, and esthetics as well as assist in the ongoing maintenance of remaining intraoral and perioral structures. However, anatomic limitations such as t...
Survival and stability of OSPTX and OSP implants is comparable. Osteotomy preparation by either standard or soft bone surgical protocol presented no significant effect on implant survival and stability for the specific implant designs.
The purpose of this study was to compare a parallel wall design implant to a tapered apex design implant when placed in the posterior maxilla using two different surgical protocols.
Twenty-seven patients (30 implants) were divided into three groups. All implants were 4 mm wide in diameter and 8 mm long.
Group A received 10 tapered implants (OSPTX) (Astra Tech OsseoSpeed TX™) using the soft b...

In conclusion, our analyses revealed a cumulative survival rate of 89.8% of TPS-surface implants with at least 25 years of functioning. The survival rate of maxillary positioned implants was significantly lower than that of mandibulary positioned implants. The patient gender, implant location, and width of keratinized mucosa affected the rate of peri-implantitis, resulting in late failure. Implan...
We also observed that the tooth-implant-supported prostheses had a lower complication-free rate than implant-supported fixed prostheses due to caries, periodontitis, or the root fracture of abutment teeth. Lang et al. reported that the survival rates of tooth implant-supported fixed partial dentures were 94.1% after 5 years and 77.8% after 10 years of functioning [31], and these results were alm...
Regarding the width of keratinized mucosa, many studies and a review have indicated that the presence of a sufficient width of keratinized mucosa is necessary for maintaining healthy peri-implants [26,27,28,29]. In the present study, when 2 mm of keratinized mucosa was used as the adequate width, the p value was 0.053 (data not shown). This also showed the tendency of the availability of keratini...
Peri-implantitis is the major reason for late failure [13, 14]. The consensus report of the Sixth European Workshop on Periodontology described peri-implant mucositis in approx. 80% of subjects restored with implant, and peri-implantitis in 28–56% of subjects [15]. In the present study, the cumulative incidence of peri-implantitis was 9.5, 15.3, 21.0, and 27.9% at 5, 10, 15, and 25 years after ...
Although all implants used in this study were withdrawn from the market about 20 years before, the longitudinal clinical outcomes over decades will help to better understand potential factors leading to implant failure or complications and assess the safe and predictable use of dental implant.

A total of 48 implants were eventually accompanied by a peri-implant infection: the cumulative incidence of peri-implantitis was 9.5, 15.3, 21.0, and 27.9% at 5, 10, 15, and 25 years after the prosthesis delivery, respectively (Fig. 3). After stepwise backward selection, the gender, implant type, and width of keratinized mucosa showed the significant difference in the cumulative survival rate (T...
A total of 92 patients (38 men, 54 women; mean age 54.3 years, range 20–78) received implant-supported prostheses (at the seven private practices) between 1984 and 1990.

Fifty-seven patients (140 implants) were considered dropouts due to the fact that no data were obtained at the endpoint, but 25 years had passed since th...
This retrospective observational study was approved by the ethical committee of Nagasaki University (No. 1512). The cases of all of the patients who underwent dental implant treatment with a TPS-surfaced solid-screw implant and whose prosthesis was set in the years 1984–1990 at seven private practices were analyzed. All inserted implants were either a TPS-type (TPS-type, Institute Straumann, Bas...
Dental implant treatment based on the concept of osseointegration [1] is now a widely accepted restorative treatment for fully and partially edentulous patients. In the earliest days of the use of osseointegrated implants, two different topographies were applied on the implant surfaces: a machined minimally rough titanium surface such as the Brånemark system and a rough microporous titanium plasm...
The longitudinal clinical outcomes over decades contribute to know potential factors leading to implant failure or complications and help in the decision of treatment alternatives.

The results of the present case series study should be interpreted in a critical light because of the small study population. However, it can be concluded that periodontally diseased subjects treated in a supportive periodontal therapy can be successfully rehabilitated with oxide-coated dental implants for a follow-up period of 3 to 6 years. The results suggest that implants in the maxilla and in...
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 ...
The present study examines the success rates of oxide-coated implants in subjects with treated periodontal disease. Several long-term clinical studies on periodontally healthy subjects have revealed survival rates of 97.1 to 99.2% for oxide-coated implants [10, 24, 25]. The results of the present study show a comparable implant survival rate (96.2% in GAP and 97.1% in GCP subjects) for subjects wi...

All 29 subjects were examined over the period of 3 to 6 years (Table 2). For the duration of the observation period, all the remaining teeth were periodontally healthy, with PDs ≤ 3 mm and negative BOP.

A total of 29 partially edentulous subjects were consecutively recruited from the Dental School of Medicine, Philipps-University, Marburg, Germany between April 2010 and April 2013 (Table 1). Subjects were excluded for the following reasons: history of systemic disease (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis), pregnancy, untreated caries, current orthodontic treatment, con...
The aim of this long-term clinical study on partially edentulous subjects treated for periodontal disease was to evaluate the prevalence of mucositis and peri-implantitis and to determine the survival and success rates of dental implants with oxide-coated surfaces.
In recent years, a great number of different implant systems varying in materials, surface structure, and macroscopic design have been introduced to the dental market [1]. In studies using implants with modified surfaces, it was concluded that rough surfaces induce a stronger initial bone response, achieve stability more rapidly, and integrate more fully with extant bone [2,3,4,5,6]. Dental implan...

Survival rates and stability of OSP and OSPTX implants was comparable.
Osteotomy preparation either by the standard or by the soft bone surgical protocol had no significant effect on implant survival, success, and stability.

Insertion torque presented a moderate to strong correlation with ISQ values at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year but not at time of implant insertion. This finding is in agreement with Acil et al. who reported no statistically significant correlation between insertion torque and ISQ at time of implant placement [22].
Although a strong correlation was found between insertion torque and bone loss at...
Augmentation of the maxillary sinus prior to dental implant placement is routinely performed in order to help patients restore their maxillary posterior dentition. Unfortunately, not all patients are candidates for this procedure due to either health, personal, or financial concerns. An alternative treatment without the need for a sinus elevation procedure is the use of a shorter implant. Research...
Overall implant survival rate was 93.3%. Two implants failed, one implant in group A (OSPTXSoft) and one in group B (OSPTXStd). Both implant failures occurred at the time of uncovery (at 6 weeks) and prior to loading of the implants and were attributed to lack of integration. With the exception of these two failed implants, there was 100% success for all remaining implants using the parameters de...
ANOVA was used to compare the mean implant stabilities between the three groups. Post hoc testing was done via Tukey’s honestly significant differences test to calculate the differences between ISQ measurements at the time of implant placement, 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months (Fig. 2) as well as bone levels at 6 and 12 months (Fig. 3). The correlations of multiple parameters such as insertion t...
Following proper approval by the LSUHSC Institution Review Board (LSUNO IRB#7438), 27 (30 implant sites) systemically healthy patients at least 18 years old were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into three groups as follows (inclusion and exclusion criteria are described in detail in Table 1):

A recent systematic review by Stocchero et al. concluded that an undersized drilling protocol in soft bone is an effective way to enhance insertion torque but recommended that further clinical studies are needed to confirm these data [18]. Our study was designed to address this question, as it compared the standard drilling protocol to a soft bone protocol.
Our study hypothesis is that the stabil...
Dental implants are now a widely accepted treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth. The therapeutic goal of dental implants is to support restorations that replace single or multiple missing teeth so as to provide patient comfort, function, and esthetics as well as assist in the ongoing maintenance of remaining intraoral and perioral structures. However, anatomic limitations such as t...
Survival and stability of OSPTX and OSP implants is comparable. Osteotomy preparation by either standard or soft bone surgical protocol presented no significant effect on implant survival and stability for the specific implant designs.
The purpose of this study was to compare a parallel wall design implant to a tapered apex design implant when placed in the posterior maxilla using two different surgical protocols.
Twenty-seven patients (30 implants) were divided into three groups. All implants were 4 mm wide in diameter and 8 mm long.
Group A received 10 tapered implants (OSPTX) (Astra Tech OsseoSpeed TX™) using the soft b...

The current retrospective consecutive case series study provides preliminary data that treatment with 7-mm-length short implants with a hydrophilic electrowetted surface is a reasonable approach in sites with limited vertical bone dimension. It adds to the body of evidence supporting short implant use for compromised sites. The success seen might be attributed to the larger implant diameters that ...
Thirty-six percent of the implants in the study were placed in extraction sockets. Provided that sufficient initial implant stability is achieved, there should be no additional risk factors compared to implants in healed sites. Studies have shown no difference in marginal bone remodeling between immediately placed and delayed implants [15].
The biggest limitation of the current study is its very ...
A wide distribution in implant insertion torque (10–50 Ncm) was seen in the study. This reflects the variety of clinical situations in which the implants were placed. Assessments were made by using both the RFA value and the insertion torque as to first whether an implant should have been left to heal in the first place and if so, how this would be best accomplished, i.e., through its submergen...
This retrospective study is the first to look at short dental implants with a hydrophilic electrowetted surface. The survival data suggest that this treatment is a viable option to care. In a systematic review that identified 13 studies on implants shorter than 10 mm, the CSR from the individual studies ranged from 80 to 100% with a combined CSR of 98.3% after 5 years, 94.8% after 6 years, and ...

Baseline parameters, both patient- and implant-related, as well as follow-up parameters (implant survival, follow-up time, and resonance frequency analysis) were collected from a review of the patient records.
The main study parameters (principal outcome parameters) were defined to be implant loss and follow-up time. The cumulative survival rate was estimated. The influence of several factors on ...
A retrospective study on short 7 mm hydrophilic implants from a single center was conducted in a private practice limited to periodontics and surgical dental implant placements from one of the authors, PSR (Yardley, Pennsylvania, USA). An exhaustive chart review identified 75 patients for analysis that were treated with 86 short (7 mm) implants during a 5-year period (September 1, 2009, to Novem...
The aim of this retrospective consecutive case series study was to investigate implant survival rate and analyze possible factors affecting the survival of short implants placed in one surgical practice focused on implantology and periodontology in a temporal cohort.
In the past decades, the osseointegration rate of dental implants has dramatically increased, particularly in sites of softer dental bone, which may be attributed to the introduction of moderately roughened surfaces [1, 2]. Moreover, because of this increase in success, clinicians have attempted to push the envelope and place implants into sites that may provide a greater challenge as they wish to...
This retrospective consecutive case series study was performed to determinate the survival rate and implant stability of short (7 mm length) dental implants with an electrowetted hydrophilic surface that were in function from 1 to 7 years.

In conclusion, and within the limits of its retrospective nature, our study implies that in cases of intraoperative perforation of the Schneiderian membrane, a consequent surgical assessment and treatment might avoid complications regarding graft stability and implant survival. Two-stage procedures might be appropriate if primary stability does not seem to be achievable. Augmentation of the sinus ...
The surgical management in cases of a membrane perforation might also influence the overall postoperative outcome and complications. Although the sinus lifting procedure has been established for many years now, there are no evidence-based guidelines for perforation closure or indications to interrupt the procedure. To date, most existing studies recommend sealing smaller sizes of perforations with...
One implant was lost in the perforation group due to early-onset peri-implantitis, whereas all implants in the control group were still in place. As we had previously prospectively reported on the first 6 months after dental implantation in this cohort [11], there was no further impact of membrane perforation on implant loss for at least 12 to 24 months in this retrospective evaluation. The appe...
The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the impact of intraoperative perforations of the Schneiderian membrane during sinus floor elevation on the stability of the augmented area and its influence on osseointegration after implant insertion. Therefore, we could re-assess a patient cohort of originally 34 patients with 41 perforations and compare their outcome with a control grou...
The initial bone level differed significantly (p = 0.05) between both groups with a median value of 5.69 mm in the study group and 3.87 mm in the control group (Fig. 4). A Mann-Whitney-U-Wilcoxon test revealed no significant difference between bone level postoperatively (p = 0.7851; median value control group 17.40 mm; median value perforation group 16.91 mm), in follow-up (p = 0....
The mean control interval was 2.69 (± 2.03) years. At the time of the follow-up examination, the average age was 59.95 (± 11.82) years.
In the remaining collective of 31 patients (96.97%; 12 males (37.54%) and 19 females (59.43%)), a total of 92 implants were inserted. The overview of perforation treatment in the study group is given in Fig. 2, and Fig. 3 depicts the reasons for perforati...
One independent oral and maxillofacial surgeon performed the clinical follow-up examinations according to a standardized protocol. A peri-implant probing including probing pocket depths and recessions on four sites of each implant was assessed as was bleeding on probing (BOP) to determine the status of oral hygiene objectively. Signs of gingivitis and pus suppuration were also recorded. The criter...
Three different oral and maxillofacial surgeons performed the sinus lift procedure with an external approach according to comparable surgical standards and inserted all implants examined in this study in a submerged protocol with uncovering after 3–4 months due to the manufacturer’s surgical recommendations. Specifically, a total of 35 external sinus floor elevations were performed through a ...

Sinus floor elevation procedures have become a predictable and successful treatment, performed when the maxillary alveolar ridge is atrophied and the bone height is not sufficient for primary implantation. If the postoperative course remains uneventful, the outcome is highly predictable [1,2,3]. However, complications may have a negative impact on the overall treatment success. As a common complic...
Until now, sinus floor elevation represents the gold standard procedure in the atrophic maxilla in order to facilitate dental implant insertion. Although the procedure remains highly predictive, the perforation of the Schneiderian membrane might compromise the stability of the augmented bone and implant success due to chronic sinus infection. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to show ...

The current retrospective consecutive case series study provides preliminary data that treatment with 7-mm-length short implants with a hydrophilic electrowetted surface is a reasonable approach in sites with limited vertical bone dimension. It adds to the body of evidence supporting short implant use for compromised sites. The success seen might be attributed to the larger implant diameters that ...
Thirty-six percent of the implants in the study were placed in extraction sockets. Provided that sufficient initial implant stability is achieved, there should be no additional risk factors compared to implants in healed sites. Studies have shown no difference in marginal bone remodeling between immediately placed and delayed implants [15].
The biggest limitation of the current study is its very ...
A wide distribution in implant insertion torque (10–50 Ncm) was seen in the study. This reflects the variety of clinical situations in which the implants were placed. Assessments were made by using both the RFA value and the insertion torque as to first whether an implant should have been left to heal in the first place and if so, how this would be best accomplished, i.e., through its submergen...
This retrospective study is the first to look at short dental implants with a hydrophilic electrowetted surface. The survival data suggest that this treatment is a viable option to care. In a systematic review that identified 13 studies on implants shorter than 10 mm, the CSR from the individual studies ranged from 80 to 100% with a combined CSR of 98.3% after 5 years, 94.8% after 6 years, and ...
The chart review identified 86 placed implants in 75 patients. Table 1 summarizes the patient demographics of the 75 patients. Patients ranged in age from 29 to 88 years with a mean of 61.0 ± 12.5 years. Twenty-seven of the patients were males and 48 were females. Table 2 summarizes the implant and site-related information of the 86 placed implants. Mean insertion torque was 30.1 ± 7...
Baseline parameters, both patient- and implant-related, as well as follow-up parameters (implant survival, follow-up time, and resonance frequency analysis) were collected from a review of the patient records.
The main study parameters (principal outcome parameters) were defined to be implant loss and follow-up time. The cumulative survival rate was estimated. The influence of several factors on ...
A retrospective study on short 7 mm hydrophilic implants from a single center was conducted in a private practice limited to periodontics and surgical dental implant placements from one of the authors, PSR (Yardley, Pennsylvania, USA). An exhaustive chart review identified 75 patients for analysis that were treated with 86 short (7 mm) implants during a 5-year period (September 1, 2009, to Novem...
The aim of this retrospective consecutive case series study was to investigate implant survival rate and analyze possible factors affecting the survival of short implants placed in one surgical practice focused on implantology and periodontology in a temporal cohort.
In the past decades, the osseointegration rate of dental implants has dramatically increased, particularly in sites of softer dental bone, which may be attributed to the introduction of moderately roughened surfaces [1, 2]. Moreover, because of this increase in success, clinicians have attempted to push the envelope and place implants into sites that may provide a greater challenge as they wish to...
This retrospective consecutive case series study was performed to determinate the survival rate and implant stability of short (7 mm length) dental implants with an electrowetted hydrophilic surface that were in function from 1 to 7 years.

Conclusions
In conclusion, our analyses revealed a cumulative survival rate of 89.8% of TPS-surface implants with at least 25 years of functioning. The survival rate of maxillary positioned implants was significantly lower than that of mandibulary positioned implants. The patient gender, implant location, and width of keratinized mucosa affected the rate of peri-implantitis, resulting in l...
A total of 48 implants were eventually accompanied by a peri-implant infection: the cumulative incidence of peri-implantitis was 9.5, 15.3, 21.0, and 27.9% at 5, 10, 15, and 25 years after the prosthesis delivery, respectively (Fig. 3). After stepwise backward selection, the gender, implant type, and width of keratinized mucosa showed the significant difference in the cumulative survival rate (T...

Background
Dental implant treatment based on the concept of osseointegration [1] is now a widely accepted restorative treatment for fully and partially edentulous patients. In the earliest days of the use of osseointegrated implants, two different topographies were applied on the implant surfaces: a machined minimally rough titanium surface such as the Brånemark system and a rough micropor...

The appearance of poorer oral hygiene later in the study also appears to correspond with the drop in follow-up attendance, which again supports the importance of follow-up. All other complications could be resolved and were not persisting. Furthermore, patients selected for inclusion in this study were optimal candidates for dental implants. Though the inclusion criteria predestinate the patient s...
At 5-year follow-up, the overall SBI was 0.32 ± 0.49, reflective of no bleeding given that 0 equals no bleeding and 1 equals isolated bleeding spots visible [27]. The PPD initially decreased within the first 6 months from which point it significantly increased to 2.34 ± 1.18 mm at 5-year follow-up.
Nevertheless, the measured mean PPD still reflects the norm for conventionally placed i...
On the one hand, the variety of bone level changes in this study may be explained by different vertical soft tissue thicknesses, but cannot be validated due to these missing data. On the other hand, there are multiple confounding factors influencing the change in bone level, such as the size of the platform (mismatch), occlusal loading, and the microgap. Additional to the standard success criteria...
Over the 5-year study period, we report
At 3-year follow-up, bone loss was noted in one patient (reclassified as peri-implantitis at the 4-year follow-up) and an important bone loss (due to poor oral hygiene and bruxism; two implants) in a patient with psychosocial issues who could not be treated during the study. Such a patient would not have been included in an RCT.
Consequently, three implants were lost based on the bone loss criter...
Discussion and conclusions
This large, multicenter study provides real-life long-term data on 285 implants placed in 196 patients. The results show that the placement of CAMLOG SCREW-LINE implants with platform-matching or platform-switching abutments results in high survival and success in the long term. The overall success rate for implants was 97.1% at 5-year post-loading, and 97.4% and 96.2...

In the present study, CAMLOG SCREW-LINE implants with the Promote plus surface (sandblasted and acid-etched surface) were used. These implants in combination with platform-matching abutments have been shown to have high long-term success rates ranging from 97.8 to 100% at 5-year to 10-year follow-up [9,10,11,12,13]. They can be restored with either platform-matching or platform-switching abutments...
Background
Success and survival rates of endosseous implants are well-documented in a number of controlled clinical trials and systematic reviews [1,2,3]. Generally, controlled trials evaluate endosseous implants in specific clinical situations; thus, the patient population is subjected to rigorous inclusion criteria and follow-up. Accordingly, controlled clinical trials do not reflect th...

Conclusion
Within the limitations of the current review, it can be concluded that implant survival in autogenous bone grafts in H&N oncology patients appears to be promising with implant survival being reported at over 80% in 16 of the 20 studies included with 11 of these reporting implant survival of over 90% in follow-up ranging from 3 months [28] to 15 years [5]. However, there i...
A clear deficiency of many of the studies was the imprecise and inconsistent definitions of implant survival or implant success, as detailed in Table 1. In addition, in a number of studies, the terminology ‘implant success’ and ‘implant survival’ were used interchangeably within the narrative making comparison of the studies challenging and rendering statistical analysis of the surv...
The implant placement protocol with regard to primary (immediate) or secondary (delayed) implant placement was also reviewed, and there is limited evidence from Fenlon et al. that implant failure is significantly worse in immediately placed implants in comparison with a delayed approach in free vascularized grafts.
Implant success was shown to be lower than implant survival and was related ...

Summary of evidence
Dental implants are now perceived to be a vital part of the clinician’s armamentarium in the provision of oral and dental rehabilitation for patients with acquired deformity following management of their H&N cancer, and therefore, this systematic review is relevant to clinicians and stakeholders involved in the treatment and management of H&N cancer patient...
Six of these studies (Schultes et al., Wang et al., Zou et al., Chiapasco et al., Chiapasco et al., Wu et al.) reported some of this lack of success to the peri-implant soft tissue which was most frequently the soft tissue component of a combined bone and soft tissue free flap (most commonly the external skin).
Complications
A variety of implant-based complications were documented. Complicatio...
Implant survival and Peri-implant soft tissue
Only one study (Linsen et al. ) reported on the effect of the peri-implant soft tissue and implant survival of implants placed into autogenous bone grafts. Linsen et al. reported a higher implant failure of implants placed into bone and soft tissue grafts in comparison to implants placed into a bone grafts with residual soft tissues. This difference...
However, in two studies (Teoh et al., Burgess et al.), no statistical significance was found despite higher implant failure.
Primary and secondary implant placement and implant survival
Six studies clearly reported the use of both primary and secondary implant placement within their study (Fenlon et al., Ch’ng et al., Zou et al., Burgess et al., Watzinger et al., Wu et al.); however, only on...
Two studies (Fenlon et al., Burgess et al. ) reported no significant effect on implant survival in varying graft donor sites; however, three studies (Hessling et al., Shaw et al., Chiapasco et al.) reported varying implant survival rates within different autogenous bone grafts but only one study (Hessling et al.) reported that implant loss was significant with this being for implants placed into...
Autogenous bone graft type and implant survival
Seventeen studies reported on the specific bone graft type (non-vascularised or vascularised) into which the implants were placed. In the remaining three studies (Buddula et al., Fierz et al., Yerit et al.), this distinction was not possible.
Of these 17 studies, 8 studies reported on implant survival in non-vascularised bone grafts and 14 studie...
The surgical and loading implant protocols were reported in 17 studies with no description given in 3 studies (Barrowman et al., Fierz et al., Hessling et al.). The implant placement protocols were diverse with variables including the use of surgical templates/guides, primary and/or secondary implant placement following autogenous bone grafting, and immediate and/or delayed implant loading; howe...
These 20 studies were published over a range of 21 years (1996 to 2017) and provide cumulative data on 1905 implants placed into autogenous bone grafts in H&N cancer patients with both benign and malignant tumours being reported. The exact patient number for this intervention within some of the studies was unclear as a result of the studies reporting on implant rather than patient number or ther...

Introduction
Rationale
The use of implants to retain prostheses as part of oral and dental rehabilitation of head and neck (H&N) cancer patients is becoming an increasingly common treatment approach. A number of benefits advocating implant anchorage over conventionally secured prostheses have been proposed but importantly include a significant improvement in the reported quality of life (QoL) of...

In addition, Buch et al. compared the different criteria proposed for implant success with regard to their clinical value. The authors demonstrated that the proposed criteria led to very different success rates 6 years after implant insertion (75–89%) and did not allow reliable comparison of the results with each other. Thus, during control visits in our practices, only prosthetic complica...
The most often used graft material in our evaluation was Geistlich Bio-Oss (53.0%) followed by autogenous bone (32.5%). When compared to no graft, the use of both grafts resulted in significantly higher implant survival rates. In various studies, the bone substitute was found to promote bone regeneration and to allow for long-term stability of the augmented volume. A recent meta-analysis com...
However, there are also a few clinical studies in which reduced survival rates for implants inserted in grafted areas were found. Differences in numbers of implants analysed, surgical techniques, indications and/or graft materials may account for these inconsistent results and further studies might be needed.
In the retrospective analysis shown here, the comparison of different augmentation...
Discussion
The retrospective analysis presented here evaluates implants inserted in three different private practices with or without augmentation procedures. Treatments were performed according to the standard protocols applied in the private practices. More than 10,000 implants were inserted in various indications and were followed up to 20.2 years from the day of implant insertion. The o...
When looking into the Kaplan-Meier implant survival curves of the augmentation procedures using the log-rank test, the highest implant survival was found for bone condensing followed by lateral augmentation, internal sinus lift, transplantation of bone blocks, bone splitting/spreading, titanium mesh, external sinus lift (one- and two-step) and finally, no augmentation. This sequence was statistica...
Results
Of the 10,158 implants, 58.2% (5916 implants) were inserted using an augmentation procedure. The minimal observation period until the last control visit or until explantation was 0 days (day of implantation); the maximum period was 20.2 years. Distribution of analysed implants according to the period of observation is shown in Table 1.

Background
Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is a routine treatment in many dental practices. In order to achieve adequate functional and aesthetic results, an optimal three-dimensional implant position has to be assured. Various materials are available to build up missing bone. While autogenous bone is usually regarded to be the gold standard, harvesting may be associated with morbi...

Review
Introduction
Today, dental implants are one of the restorative methods to replace missing teeth. Improvements in implant design, surface characteristics, and surgical protocols made implants a secure and highly predictable procedure with a mean survival rate of 94.6 % and a mean success rate of 89.7 % after more than 10 years. Implant survival is initially dependent on successful osseoi...

Discussion
Augmentation of the maxillary sinus prior to dental implant placement is routinely performed in order to help patients restore their maxillary posterior dentition. Unfortunately, not all patients are candidates for this procedure due to either health, personal, or financial concerns. An alternative treatment without the need for a sinus elevation procedure is the use of a shorter...
Results
Overall implant survival rate was 93.3%. Two implants failed, one implant in group A (OSPTXSoft) and one in group B (OSPTXStd). Both implant failures occurred at the time of uncovery (at 6 weeks) and prior to loading of the implants and were attributed to lack of integration. With the exception of these two failed implants, there was 100% success for all remaining implants using the par...
Methods
Following proper approval by the LSUHSC Institution Review Board (LSUNO IRB#7438), 27 (30 implant sites) systemically healthy patients at least 18 years old were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into three groups as follows (inclusion and exclusion criteria are described in detail in Table 1):
Group A received 10 OSPTX implants using the soft bone surgical protocol (OSPT...
To avoid invasive sinus augmentation procedures, implants have been designed in shorter lengths such as 8 mm. To further enhance short implant primary stability, a tapered design has been developed which has been proven to provide greater initial stability. Implant stability can be evaluated by different measures such as torque at the time of implant placement, resistance to reverse torque, and re...
Background
Dental implants are now a widely accepted treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth. The therapeutic goal of dental implants is to support restorations that replace single or multiple missing teeth so as to provide patient comfort, function, and esthetics as well as assist in the ongoing maintenance of remaining intraoral and perioral structures. However, anatomic limitat...

CONCLUSIONS
Peri‐implantitis began to appear more frequently after the fifth year of functional loading, with a peak of incidence observed after the seventh year, especially between the seventh and eighth years. The incidence of peri‐implantitis increased when the data were analyzed from the fifth year to 10 years of function. Consequently, studies that consider a follow‐up period
The rate of peri‐implantitis observed in this study at 10 years, agreed with that described by Bragger et al. and Karoussis et al. in which peri‐implantitis occurred in 15.4% of the implants after a mean observation period of 10 years. Simonis et al. (2010) reported a prevalence of 16.9% of peri‐implantitis after an observation period of 10 to 16 years.
The study of de Waal et al. desc...
During the interval between the sixth and seventh year of functional loading, a slightly higher rate of failures than that in the previous years was observed.
The ratio between the rate of peri‐implant complications and the time of function was even more evident for peri‐implantitis, which showed a significant increase after the seventh year of functional loading, with a more evident increase...
The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the survival and success rates as well as the incidence of peri‐implantitis in patients with a history of periodontitis who followed an individual maintenance program and supportive periodontal and peri‐implant treatment (SPT), and with 1 to 10 years of implant functional loading.
The results obtained in the present study show that peri‐impl...
A total of 1,991 implants (475 patients) with 10 years of functional loading met the inclusion criteria and were included in this study: 90 patients were totally edentulous (559 implants), 155 patients were partially edentulous (732 implants), and 230 patients were mono‐edentulous (700 implants) (Tables 1 and 2).
Table 3 shows the life table analysis and cumulative survival and success rate and...
When a two‐stage technique was performed (i.e., sinus floor augmentation without implant insertion or staged‐approach GBR), a healing period of at least 6 months was observed before implant insertion. The implants were functionally loaded after 3 to 6 months of the implant placement.

After surgery, for a maintenance program, all patients followed an individual SPT. The ...
Where a deficient posterior alveolar ridge and increased pneumatization of the maxillary sinus appeared, implants were inserted with simultaneous sinus floor augmentation (one‐step procedure) (osteotome technique, or lateral window technique) or after a previous sinus floor augmentation with bone grafting (two‐step procedure).

Successful tissue integration was examined using predefined criteria of success, as follows:
Absence of persistent subjective complaints, such as pain, foreign body sensation and/or dysesthesia.
Absence of implant mobility.
Absence of continuous radiolucency around the implant.
Implant prosthesis functional loading ≥1 year.
Absence of exude or suppuration at acupressure o...
2.2 Clinical parameters
Periodical clinical examinations assessed before treatment and during follow‐up were recorded. Clinical parameters at baseline and after prosthesis positioning were used as a reference of development of peri‐implant disease.
Based on the suggestion of Mombelli and Lang, and confirmed by the successive EWP consensus workshops published in 2008, 2011, and 2012, peri...
This is a retrospective cohort study started from the analysis of clinical records of patients referring to private dental practices in central Italy (AP) treated between February 1998 and December 2002 by three different operators, and then included into a follow‐up program.

INTRODUCTION
Implant‐prosthetic rehabilitation is a clinical procedure used to solve cases of partial or total edentulism. A functioning implant may be subject to plaque‐associated biological complications, such as mucositis and peri‐implantitis.
Peri‐implant mucositis has been described as a reversible inflammatory lesion of the peri‐implant mucosa, whilst peri‐implantitis also desc...
A retrospective cohort study on peri‐implant complications in implants up to 10 years of functional loading in periodontally compromised patients
Abstract
Background
Prevalence of peri‐implantitis is directly proportional to the time of functional loading. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the survival and success rates as well as the incidence of peri‐implantitis ...
CONCLUSIONS
The present study found no significant difference between the clinical performance, including peri‐implant bone level changes and implant survival, of implants with 6 mm and 11 mm lengths, inserted in minimally resorbed edentulous spaces in the posterior maxilla and mandible, during a 5‐year follow‐up period.

No analysis was performed if there was a possible difference in outcomes between the different centers. One reason is that the number of patients was not equally divided between the centers, making exploration for significant differences hardly reasonable. Next to this, randomization was performed using a block randomization sequence to provide equal distribution of subjects treate...
In the publication of Thoma et al. (2018), it was mentioned that there was 2% peri‐implantitis in the 6‐mm group and 0% in the longer‐implant group. Guljé et al. (2019) observed no peri‐implantitis in either groups. These numbers are low and very much alike the present study, although it should be noted that these studies used a slightly different definition of peri‐impl...
Thoma et al. (2018) reported a mean marginal bone level change of −0.12 ± 0.54 in the 6‐mm group and −0.18 ± 0.96 in the group with longer implants, without a significant difference between the groups. Guljé et al. (2019) reported a mean marginal bone level change of −0.12 ± 0.36 mm and −0.14 ± 0.63 mm in the 6‐mm group and the 11‐mm group, respectively, without ...
DISCUSSION
Both 6‐mm short implants and 11‐mm conventional length implants performed well to support a fixed denture prosthesis in the posterior region of maxilla and mandible. A high implant survival rate, limited peri‐implant bone change, healthy peri‐implant soft tissues and limited biological and technical complications were noticed during the 5‐year functional period.
There was a ...

Forty‐nine patients were randomized to receive 6‐mm implants (test group) and 46 patients to receive 11‐mm implants (control group). The baseline characteristic of the patients is depicted in Table 1. A flow‐diagram from enrollment to 5‐year follow‐up can be found in Figure 3. A total of 209 implants were inserted: 108 implants in the 6‐mm group and 101 implants in the 11‐mm group....
2.4 Statistical analysis
The number of patients required per group was calculated after assuming a two‐sided hypothesis to be rejected if the p‐value was below 5% and with a power of 80%. Primary outcome was mean peri‐implant bone level change, measured per implant, and a mean difference of 0.5 mm (standard deviation 0.8 mm) was chosen as a meaningful level of difference to be detected. ...
2.3 Outcome
Evaluated parameters were:
Implant failure (noted at any time throughout the 5‐year follow‐up period);
Presence of plaque, probing depth (PPD) and bleeding on probing (BoP) was measured on four sites (mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual) around the implant (measured at time of provisional restoration, at time of definitive restoration and at annual follow‐up visits);
Ra...
2.2 Surgical and prosthetic procedures
To be included in the study, participants had to have an edentulous space during at least 4 months, spanning 2–3 teeth in the posterior maxilla or mandible and presence of natural teeth, partial prosthesis and/or implants in the opposite jaw in contact with the planned bridge. Patients also had to be able to receive an 11 mm long and 4 mm wide dental im...
