Long-term radiographic assessment of titanium implants installed in maxillary areas grafted with autogenous bone blocks using two predefined sets of success criteria
Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research Aug 10, 2019
Fuglsig JMCES, et al. - In this investigation, researchers evaluated the radiographic peri-implant bone loss of implants installed in maxillary areas grafted with autogenous bone and classified the long-term (at least > 4 ≤ 6 years) implant success according to two predefined sets of criteria. Sixty individuals had full maxillary alveolar reconstructions utilizing autogenous bone grafts (iliac crest), and 369 titanium implants have been installed. Over the 12-year follow-up period, 15 implants were lost. Investigators found that mean peri-implant bone loss of implants installed in maxillary areas grafted with autogenous bone blocks after > 4 ≤ 6 years was 2.7 mm, and during this period two implants were lost. The use of different criteria for success significantly changed implant prevalence classified as "failure."
