Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the biologic and mechanical complications of splinted and nonsplinted implant restorations.
Materials and methods: A total of 423 patients (n = implants: 888) were included in the study. Biologic and mechanical complications that occurred for 15 years were analyzed using the multivariable Cox regression model, and the significant effect of the splinting of prostheses and other risk factors were evaluated.
Results: Biologic complications occurred in 38.7% of implants: 26.4% of nonsplinted implants (NS) and 45.4% of splinted implants (SP). Mechanical complications occurred in 49.2% of implants: 59.3% NS and 43.9% SP. Implants splinted with both mesial and distal adjacent implants (SP-mid) had the highest risk of peri-implant diseases. As the number of implants splinted increased, the risk of mechanical complications decreased. Long crown lengths increased the risk of both biologic and mechanical complications.
Conclusion: Splinted implants had a higher risk of biologic complications and lower risk of mechanical complications. The implant splinted to both adjacent implants (SP-mid) had the highest risk of biologic complications. The greater the number of implants splinted, the lower the risk of mechanical complications. Long crown lengths increased the risk of both biologic and mechanical complications. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2023;38:435-442. doi: 10.11607/jomi.10053.

This highly regarded, often-cited journal integrates clinical and scientific data to improve methods and results of oral and maxillofacial implant therapy. It presents pioneering research, technology, clinical applications, reviews of the literature, seminal studies, emerging technology, position papers, and consensus studies, as well as the many clinical and therapeutic innovations that ensue as a result of these efforts. The editorial board is composed of recognized opinion leaders in their respective areas of expertise and reflects the international reach of the journal. Under their leadership, JOMI maintains its strong scientific integrity while expanding its influence within the field of implant dentistry. JOMI’s popular regular feature "Thematic Abstract Review" presents a review of abstracts of recently published articles on a specific topical area of interest each issue.
