A 5- to 6-year radiological evaluation of titanium plasma sprayed\/sandblasted and acid-etched implants: results from private practice<\/p>\n\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abstract\nObjectives: This study aimed to determine bone level changes after 5-6 years of follow-up for a large group of one-stage dental implants consecutively placed in private practice. Potential confounding factors influencing crestal bone loss (CBL) were also assessed.\n\nMaterials and methods: A total of 378 transmucosal Straumann implants in 174 patients were examined radiographically. Half of the study population (189 implants) had a titanium plasma sprayed (TPS) surface, and the other half (189 implants) were sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA). Mean CBL was measured from 5 to 6 years post-operative radiographs on the basis of known implant landmarks. Correlations of increased CBL with various independent variables were also investigated. Statistical analyses were performed using generalized estimating equations.\n\nResults: Radiographic measurements showed a CBL \u2264 1.5 mm for 65% of studied implants. A CBL > 1.5 mm was found for 28% of implants, while 7% of implants had a CBL \u2265 3 mm. Three factors significantly influenced CBL (P < 0.05): implant surface texture (TPS > SLA), smoking status (smokers > non-smokers), and implant location (anterior > posterior).\n\nConclusions: CBL was \u22641.5 mm after 5-6 years for the majority of followed implants. For implants with a CBL > 1.5 mm, statistically significant correlations were found for TPS surface type, anterior jaw locations, and smoking. Implant length did not influence CBL.<\/p>\n\n
