Abstract
Introduction
Full-zirconia (ZrO2) restorations were introduced to address the most common complications in implant-supported restorations in the posterior region: fractures of the veneering. The aim of this prospective case series study was to evaluate full-ZrO2 implant-supported restorations with angulated screw channel abutments (ASCs) in the molar region of the maxilla and mandible and their effect on hard and soft peri-implant tissues, and patient-related outcome measures (PROMs), during a 5-year follow-up period.
Material and Methods
Patients with a single missing molar in the maxilla or mandible with sufficient bone volume and an implant site free of infection were included. Thirty consecutive patients received a parallel-walled implant with conical connection. After 3 months, a full contour screw-retained ZrO2 restoration with an ASC was fabricated and connected to the implant. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed 1 month, 12 months, and 5 years after placement of the restoration. Implant success probability was calculated using Kaplan–Meier statistics, and confidence intervals were given over the results at 5 years. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were scored prior to treatment and at follow-up intervals. The primary outcome measure was the success of the restoration.
Results
All patients could be evaluated after 5 years. Success probability at 5 years was 73.0% (95% CI [57.0%; 89.0%]). Implant survival was 100% and restoration survival was 97%. The encountered technical complications were easily repairable (n = 12). From loading to the 5-years follow-up, the mean marginal bone loss was 0.30 mm (SD 0.52 mm). Mean scores for plaque, calculus, peri-implant mucosa, bleeding, and pocket probing depth were low, depicting healthy peri-implant conditions. PROMs had significantly improved, and the mean overall score was 9.1 ± 0.7 (scale 1–10).
Conclusion
Full-ZrO2 implant-supported restorations with ASC abutments employed in this study, when applied in maxillary and mandibular posterior regions, show a 97% survival rate. However, a high incidence rate of technical complications (n = 12) was noted during the 5-year observation period.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research is to advance the scientific and technical aspects relating to dental implants and related scientific subjects. Dissemination of new and evolving information related to dental implants and the related science is the primary goal of our journal.
The range of topics covered by the journals will include but be not limited to:
New scientific developments relating to bone
Implant surfaces and their relationship to the surrounding tissues
Computer aided implant designs
Computer aided prosthetic designs
Immediate implant loading
Immediate implant placement
Materials relating to bone induction and conduction
New surgical methods relating to implant placement
New materials and methods relating to implant restorations
Methods for determining implant stability
A primary focus of the journal is publication of evidenced based articles evaluating to new dental implants, techniques and multicenter studies evaluating these treatments. In addition basic science research relating to wound healing and osseointegration will be an important focus for the journal.
