Abstract
CARRETERO-BARRADO, L et al. Marginal bone loss on fixed rehabilitation with implants in edentulous patients. A 3-year study. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.4, pp.176-183. Epub Dec 18, 2023. ISSN 2340-3152.
Introduction:
The aim of this study was to report the outcome of marginal bone loss in the treatment of fully edentulous patients with fixed prostheses supported with dental implants.
Material & Methods:
24 edentulous patients were treated with 210 KTX ® sandblasted and acid surface implants for fixed maxilla/mandible rehabilitation. Implants were immediately loaded in the same day of the surgery. The mean follow-up was 37.1 ±14.6 months.
Results:
Clinical results indicate a survival and success rate of implants of 99.5%. One implant was lost during the follow-up period. The patients were restored with 33 screw fixed rehabilitations. Biological complications were observed in 50% of patients and technical complications in 4.2% of patients. Mean marginal bone loss was 1.33 ± 0. 77 mm. Marginal bone loss are not significantly related with age, gender, smoking, medical background, types of prostheses, and clinical follow-up.
Conclusions:
This study indicates that fixed rehabilitations by dental implants in totally edentulous patients constitute a successful treatment with a frequent marginal bone loss.
