This long-term study has demonstrated the successful use of osseointegrated implants to replace posterior teeth in the partially dentate patient. A total of 1,203 Nobelpharma implants placed by two periodontists practicing in traditional office settings were included in the survey. Of the 551 implants placed in the mandible, 25 failed, for a success rate of 95.5%. Of the 247 mandibular prostheses fabricated for 200 mandibles, 8 failed, for a prosthesis stability rate exceeding 97%. Of the 652 implants placed in the maxilla, 31 failed, for a success rate of 95.2%. Of the 250 maxillary prostheses fabricated for 193 maxillae, 2 failed, for a success rate exceeding 99%. The results compare favorably to previous reports in terms of implant survival and stability.

This work compared implant-supported fixed prostheses and overdentures in the edentulous mandible in a randomized prospective study of treatment results, clinical working hours, laboratory working hours, and laboratory costs including materials.Seventeen subjects agreed to participate. Three standard Brånemark implants were placed between the mental foramina in each patient. After the connection of standard abutments, subjects were randomly assigned to the fixed prosthesis group (n = 11) or overdenture group (n = 6). Subjects in the fixed group were provided with prostheses according to the All-in-One concept. Subjects in the overdenture group received a conventional denture retained by a Dolder bar system.One implant was lost in the fixed prosthesis group after 1 year. A new implant was placed, and the prosthesis was refitted. Mean clinical working hours were 3.1 in the fixed prosthesis group and 4.1 in the overdenture group. Mean laboratory working hours were 12.5 in the fixed prosthesis group and 7.7 in the overdenture group. Total laboratory costs, including materials, were on average about 1,700 US dollars for the fixed prosthesis and 1,350 US dollars for the overdenture.A fixed implant-supported prosthesis in the edentulous mandible could be provided at about the same cost as an overdenture using the method described. Provided that the early survival results prove to be long lasting, the choice between a fixed and a removable prosthesis need not be a matter of economy.

This study examined the tissue integration of one-stage, nonsubmerged ITI implants over a period of 3 years. Fifty-four implants were placed in 38 partially edentulous patients. Following healing (at least 3 months), all 54 implants were free of peri-implant infections and revealed no detectable mobility. Radiographs showed no signs of peri-implant radiolucencies, and the implants were in favorable positions for prosthetic restoration. Following incorporation of fixed partial dentures, patients were enrolled in a hygiene recall program with 3-month intervals and were examined once a year. Based on predefined criteria, each implant was classified as successful or failing. After the 3-year observation period, 51 of 53 implants (96.2%) were considered successfully integrated. (One patient with one implant dropped out of the study.) Two implants exhibited recurrent peri-implant infections and were classified as late failures. These results indicate that one-stage ITI implants can achieve successful tissue integration on a predictable basis and that it can be maintained over a period of at least 3 years.

T he predictability of branemark implants has been well documented. High success rates in the maxilla and mandible in fully and partially edentulous patients can be expected. A host of factors may be attributed to the etiology of fixture loss. However, the quality of bone stands out as the single greatest determinant in fixture loss. Types I, II, and III bone offer good strength. Type IV bone has a thin cortex and poor medullary strength with low trabecular density. Ninety percent of 1,054 implants placed were in Types I, II, and III bone. Only 3% of these fixtures were lost; of the 10% of the fixtures placed in Type IV bone, 35% failed. Presurgical determination of Type IV bone may be one method to decrease implant failure. J Periodontol 1991; 62:2–4 .

Abstract The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of different surface characteristics on bone integration of titanium implants. Hollow‐cylinder implants with six different surfaces were placed in the metaphyses of the tibia and femur in six miniature pigs. After 3 and 6 weeks, the implants with surrounding bone were removed and analyzed in undecalcified transverse sections. The histologic examination revealed direct bone‐implant contact for all implants. However, the morphometric analyses demonstrated significant differences in the percentage of bone‐implant contact, when measured in cancellous bone. Electropolished as well as the sandblasted and acid pickled (medium grit; HF/HNO 3 ) implant surfaces had the lowest percentage of bone contact with mean values ranging between 20 and 25%. Sandblasted implants with a large grit and titanium plasmasprayed implants demonstrated 30–40% mean bone contact. The highest extent of bone‐implant interface was observed in sandblasted and acid attacked surfaces (large grit; HCl/H 2 SO 4 ) with mean values of 50–60%, and hydroxylapatite (HA)‐coated implants with 60–70%. However, the HA coating consistently revealed signs of resorption. It can be concluded that the extent of bone‐implant interface is positively correlated with an increasing roughness of the implant surface.

Abstract A systematic mechanical and histologic evaluation of design variables affecting bone apposition to various biocompatible materials was undertaken. The variables investigated included material elastic modulus, material surface texture, as well as material surface composition. The implant materials included polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), low‐temperature isotropic (LTI) pyrolytic carbon, commercially pure (C.P.) titanium, and aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ). Implant surface texture was varied by either polishing or grit‐blasting the various materials. Implant surface composition was varied by applying a coating of ultra‐low temperature isotropic (ULTI) pyrolytic carbon to the various implants. A total of 12 types of implants were evaluated in vivo by placement transcortically in the femora of adult mongrel dogs for a period of 32 weeks. Following sacrifice, mechanical push‐out testing was performed to determine interface shear strength and interface shear stiffness. The results obtained from mechanical testing indicate that for implants fixed by direct bone apposition, interface stiffness and interface shear strength are not significantly affected by either implant elastic modulus or implant surface composition. Varying surface texture, however, significantly affected the interface response to the implants. For each elastic modulus group the roughened surfaced implants exhibited greater strengths than the corresponding smooth surfaced implants. Undecalcified histologic evaluation of the implants demonstrated that the roughened implants exhibited direct bone apposition, whereas the smooth implants exhibited various degrees of fibrous tissue encasement. Thus, for implants utilizing direct bone apposition fixation, it appears that of the parameters investigated, implant surface texture is the most significant.

This study reviews the long-term outcome of prostheses and fixtures (implants) in 759 totally edentulous jaws of 700 patients. A total of 4,636 standard fixtures were placed and followed according to the osseointegration method for a maximum of 24 years by the original team at the University of Göteborg. Standardized annual clinical and radiographic examinations were conducted as far as possible. A lifetable approach was applied for statistical analysis. Sufficient numbers of fixtures and prostheses for a detailed statistical analysis were present for observation times up to 15 years. More than 95% of maxillae had continuous prosthesis stability at 5 and 10 years, and at least 92% at 15 years. The figure for mandibles was 99% at all time intervals. Calculated from the time of fixture placement, the estimated survival rates for individual fixtures in the maxilla were 84%, 89%, and 92% at 5 years; 81% and 82% at 10 years; and 78% at 15 years. In the mandible they were 91%, 98%, and 99% at 5 years; 89% and 98% at 10 years; and 86% at 15 years. (The different percentages at 5 and 10 years refer to results for different routine groups of fixtures with 5 to 10, 10 to 15, and 1 to 5 years of observation time, respectively.) The results of this study concur with multicenter and earlier results for the osseointegration method.
