Today, there are little data available concerning the clinical outcomes involving the use of implant treatment for patients with diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes was a possible exclusion criterion; however, the final decision on Type 2 patients was left to the dental implant team at the research center. A total of 2,887 implants (663 patients) were surgically placed, restored, and followed for a period of 36 months.

This paper reports on the influence of two different methods of determining 36-month survival of implants used to support different dental prostheses.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> More than 2,900 implants with six different designs were placed in 829 patients at 32 study centers and followed for 3 years.

The difference in reported survival rates for implants in the lower posterior, partially edentulous application was 5.8%. Since failures tended to occur in the earlier phases of treatment, the post-loading approach always resulted in more favorable survival data.

This paper reports on long-term clinical outcomes of osseointegrated dental implants placed in smokers and non-smokers in a longitudinal clinical study of endosseous dental implants.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> In 1990, the Dental Implant Clinical Research Group (DICRG) of the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) launched an 8-year, randomized, prospective clinical study of more than 2,900 endosseous dental implants in more than 800 patients at 32 study centers.

For this report, new follow-up data were analyzed for two groups: 1) current smokers and 2) those who never smoked combined with those who quit. Most of the variables recorded for each implant were screened on a univariate basis as possible predictors associated with implant survival/failure. Those with P values less than 0.15 and those likely to be a factor of clinical importance were placed in a logistic regression equation and analyzed for a simultaneous effect on survival. A step-wise procedure was used to eliminate those variables that showed the least significance, until only those variables with a Wald chi-square of significance in the presence of others remained.

Information on the chemical changes, which occur with hydroxyapatite biomaterials postimplantation in humans, is lacking. The purpose of this investigation was to begin to examine post-implantation surface changes of hydroxyapatite- coated implants using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray microanalysis (EDAX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Three retrieved dental implant specimens from humans following clinical failure due to peri-implantitis were examined. Unimplanted cylinders served as controls. Clinically, the retrieved specimens were all enveloped by a fibrous tissue capsule with bone present at the apical extent of the implant. SEM analysis showed that the retrieved surfaces were coated with both calcified and proteinaceous deposits. EDAX scans of the retrieved specimens demonstrated evidence of hydroxyapatite coating loss reflected by increasing titanium and aluminum signals. Other foreign ions such as sodium, chloride, sulfur, silica, and magnesium were detected. XRD of the control specimens showed that the samples were predominantly apatite; however, two peaks were detected in the diffraction pattern, which are not characteristic of hydroxyapatite, indicating that small amounts of one or more other crystalline phases were also present. The retrieved specimens showed slightly larger average crystal size relative to the control sample material, and the non-apatite lines were not present. FTIR evaluation of the retrieved specimens revealed the incorporation of carbonate and organic matrix on or into the hydroxyapatite. Narrowing of and increased detail in the phosphate peaks indicated an increase in average crystal size and/or perfection relative to the controls, as did the XRD results. Based on these results, we conclude that chemical changes may occur within the coating, with the incorporation of carbonate and concomitant reduction in hydroxyapatite coating thickness. Thermodynamic dissolution-reprecipitation of the coating itself and subsequent surface insult by bacterial and local inflammatory components may be involved with these changes. <i>Ann Periodontol 2000;5:175-184.</i></p>","PeriodicalId":79473,"journal":{"name":"Annals of periodontology","volume":"5 1","pages":"175-184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1902/annals.2000.5.1.175","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68173707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
