This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine whether such an association exists and, if so, to determine its strength. Reviewers performed an extensive search of the literature, last accessed in June 2022 in PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases using MeSH terms. Retrospective and prospective observational cohort and experimental studies evaluating the role of SSRI on dental implant failure among individuals ≥18 years of age, with a minimum follow-up of 6 months after implant placement, were deemed eligible. The search yielded a total of 6 eligible studies, all retrospective cohorts. Statistical analyses were performed using the statistical software R 4.1.3. Results showed higher implant failure rates among SSRI users vs non-SSRI users at both the patient level (5.6%-19.6% vs 1.9%-8.0%) and the implant level (5.6%-12.5% vs 1.9%-5.8%). The pooled relative risk (RR) of implant failure was more than double among SSRI users at the patient level (pooled RR: 2.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.68-3.55, P < .01) and at the implant level (pooled RR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.74-3.15, P < .01) compared with non-SSRI users. DerSimonian and Laird estimates showed homogeneity of the studies (I2 = 0%, P > .05), and funnel plots and Egger's test determined no publication bias across all selected studies at both patient and implant levels. In conclusion, SSRI use is significantly associated with higher implant failure.

Four conical connection systems were selected based on different conical half-angles: Ankylos (5.7°), Cowell (7.0°), Straumann (7.5°), and Astra (11.0°). In each system, 5 implants and abutments were used (n = 5). According to the recommended value, each abutment screw was torqued to settle the abutment and then withdrawn through a predesigned hole of the cemented crown. The retentiveness of the abutment was evaluated by the following mechanical testing. All specimens were subjected to cyclic loading of 20-200 N, 30°, and 4-mm off-axis to the implant axis, for 106 cycles. The pullout forces and axial displacements of the abutments were measured. The data of the Cowell system was obtained from our previous work. All groups other than Astra group, in which abutment loosened after abutment screw withdrawal, passed the cyclic loading test. Straumann group demonstrated a significantly lower pullout force (27.4 ± 21.1 N) than Ankylos (160.1 ± 41.4 N) and Cowell (183.7 ± 30.5 N) groups. All groups showed abutment rebound after screw withdrawal except Straumann group. In addition, Ankylos, Cowell, and Straumann groups demonstrated axial displacement after cyclic loading. In terms of the retentiveness of the abutment after abutment screw withdrawal examined in this study, Ankylos and Cowell groups had much higher retentiveness than Straumann group, while Astra group had none.

Additionally, the relationship between PIS and alveolar ridge width (ARW) was explored in both implant types. Sixty dental implants (30 tapered and 30 parallel) were randomly placed with a split-mouth design in 17 patients. Bone density and ARW were estimated from cone beam computed tomography images taken with radiological-surgical templates. Density and width values were similar in the 2 groups (P > .05). Implant coronal diameters were 3.75 mm in all cases, while consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations, final drill bit diameters used were 3.25 and 3.4 mm for parallel and tapered implants, respectively. Insertion torque was higher (P < .05) with parallel implants, but between-group differences in implant stability quotient were not significant (P > .05). In tapered implants, insertion torque was inversely correlated with ARW (P < .001). Notably, significant differences were observed between resonance frequency analysis values from Osstell and Penguin systems (P < .001).
