Hattingh A, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers estimated 85 out of 230 candidates to study the consequence of ultra-wide implants, placed immediately in molar sockets. To fill the residual space, 28 implants received a bone graft. No significant difference in bone loss between the maxilla and mandible, male or female, smoking and nonsmoking, grafted and nongrafted sites, or the different bio-types was observed. In case if a contact point was present, they recorded significantly higher distal papillae. They reported more bleeding on probing around the implants although plaque was more frequent at the contralateral tooth. They overall recorded little bone loss and stable soft tissue conditions with ultra-wide diameter implants (for immediate molar replacement) over a 4 to 7-year period.
