Abstract
Background
The aim of this case study is to present the rationality and scientific evidence of a new design for a double (DA) and triple (TA) dental abutment-implant with their specific new concept of biodynamic optimized peri-implant tissue (BOPiT).
Methods
The innovative design of these abutments with a paraboloid geometry was based on BOPiT, simultaneously involving the principles of mechanobiology, biotensegrity, and mechanotransduction. Thus, 37 consecutive individuals/43 cases rehabilitated with single dental implant using the innovative DA (n = 28) and TA (n = 15) on 43 implants were included in this case study. The DA and TA support 2 or 3 dental crowns on a single implant, respectively. Clinic and radiographic examinations were presented at T1 (loading after 4 months) and T2 [final examination with an average follow-up time of 7.2 years (>3 to 12 years)].
Results
At T2, mean scores for plaque index, peri-implant bleeding on probing, and peri-implant probing depth were low, depicting healthy peri-implant conditions. All radiographic images showed insignificant annual marginal bone loss (0.022 ± 0.05 mm) when compared to T1, reflecting great bone stability.
Conclusion
DA and TA, based on the BOPiT concept, represent an advantageous, simple and non-invasive mechanism for the longevity and healthy regulation of the peri-implant tissues.
