Survival and success rate of spiral implants inserted mandible

Abstract

The rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible is a relatively common clinical problem and dentatl implants are popular medical device routinely use in daily practice. Recently a new type of two-piece spiral implants has been introduced in the market. Here a retrospective study is reported. A total of 54 two-piece implants were inserted in mandible in the period between June and December 2017, 30 in female and 24 in males. The median age was 53 ± 8. Implants replaced 11 incisors, 6 cuspids, 23 premolars and 14 molars. Implant length was 10 mm, 11,50 mm and 13 mm in 16, 19 and 19 cases, respectively. Implant diameter was 3.3 mm, 3.75 mm and 4.2 mm in 22, 13, 19 cases, respectively. Twenty two fixtures were placed in totally edentulous patient and 32 in partially edentulous subjects. There were 4 single crowns, 28 implants bearing two or greater bridges, 4 removable dentures and 18 supporting Toronto bridge. The overall mean follow-up was 13 ± 2 months. One implant was lost so that survival rate (SVR) was 98.15%. Then peri-implant bone resorption (success rate, SCR) was used to investigate peri-implant bone stability. No implant have a crestal bone resorption greater than 1.5 mm so that the implants studied are reliable devices for oral rehabilitation with a very high SCR and SVR.
