To compare implant failure, prosthesis failure and radiographic bone level changes of immediate non-occlusal loading versus early loading in partially edentulous patients 3 years after implant placement. A total of 80 patients with partial edentulism were selected for a two implant-supported immediate restoration and randomised to immediate loading (test group) or early loading (control group) after 2 months, 40 patients for each group. To be included in the study, implants had to be inserted with a torque ≥ 30 Ncm. In the test group, implants were provided with non-occluding temporary restorations. In the control group, healing abutments were attached and implants were left to heal nonsubmerged. Definitive prostheses were delivered 2 months after surgery with full occlusal contacts. The outcome variables were implant failure, prosthesis failure, complications and radiographic bone level changes at implants 3 years after loading. The assessor was blinded to group assignment.

Implant Treatment of Patients with Edentulous Jaws: A 20-Year Follow-Up
Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, 2008
Background: Implant-supported prostheses are today often used in rehabilitation of partially or totally edentulous patients. Both patients and the dental profession often regard implant treatment as successful in a life perspective. Therefore, studies with a long-term follow-up are important. Purpose: The aim was to investigate the outcome of implant treatment with fixed prostheses in edentulous jaws after 20 years, with special reference to survival rate of implants and prostheses and frequency of peri-implantitis. Materials and Methods: The patient material was a group of patients treated in the early 1980s. The original patient group comprised the first 48 consecutive patients treated with implant-supported prostheses at Umeå University. All patients were edentulous in one or two jaws. The patients had a mean age at the implant insertion of 54.3 years (range 40-74). At the planning of this study 20 years after treatment, 19 of the 48 patients were found to be deceased. Of the 29 patients still alive, 21 patients with altogether 23 implant-supported prostheses could be examined clinically and radiographically. All patients were treated ad modum Brånemark® (Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) with a two-stage surgical procedure. The implants had a turned surface. Abutment connections were performed 3 to 4 months after fixture insertion in the mandible, and after a minimum of 6 months in the maxilla. The prostheses were fabricated with a framework of gold alloy and acrylic artificial teeth. Results: The 21 patients (with 23 implant prostheses) examined had at the time of treatment got 123 implants (27 in the upper jaw and 96 in the lower jaw) inserted. Only one of these implants had been lost (about 2 years after loading) giving a survival rate of 99.2%. Very small changes occurred in the marginal bone level. Between the 1 and 20-year examinations, the mean bone loss was 0.53 mm and the mean bone level at the final examination was 2.33 mm below the reference point. Conclusions: This follow-up over two decades of implant-supported prostheses demonstrates a very good prognosis for the treatment performed. The frequencies of peri-implantitis, implant failures, or other complications were very small, and the original treatment concept with a two-stage surgery and a turned surface of the implants will obviously give very good results.

The aim of the present study was to describe immediate functional loading of completely edentulous maxillas and mandibles by fixed provisional prostheses and to compare cumulative survival rates between maxillas and mandibles. Contributing factors including implant diameter, system, configuration, type of abutment connections, position of implants, and insertion torque values were investigated. Patients and Methods: From patients treated at the Associated Brånemark Osseointegration Center, Hong Kong, who received immediate functional loading of implants by fixed completely edentulous provisional prostheses were reviewed. Marginal bone changes were measured. Results: There were 48 edentulous maxillas and 85 edentulous mandibles, in total 133 arches. Twenty-two cases received simultaneous maxillary and mandibular rehabilitation. Three hundred nineteen implants were used for the maxilla and 371 implants for the mandible, in total 690 implants. A mean of 6.65 fixtures was used to reconstruct an edentulous maxilla and a mean of 4.36 implants for an edentulous mandible. The mean follow-up period was 29.5 months, ranging from 11.5 to 71 months. Six hundred seventy-two of 690 implants (97.4%) had been followed up at least 1 year. Four implants failed in the maxilla and 5 implants failed in the mandible. Mean marginal bone loss was 0.07 mm after 1 year. Mean failure time was 2.89 months postoperatively (range, 2 to 5 mo). In those failed implants, maximal insertion torque values were significantly lower than those of successful ones. The immediate loading protocol constituted cumulative survival rates of 98.7% for the maxilla and 98.7% for the mandible, with an overall cumulative survival rate of 98.7%. There was no significant difference in survival rates between the maxillas and mandibles ( 2 exact test, P ϭ 1.000). The implant survival rate was found to be not related to implant diameter, system, configuration, type of abutment connections, and position of implants (P Ͼ .05). Conclusion: The immediate loading protocol by fixed provisional prostheses proved to be an effective method in restoring completely edentulous maxillas and mandibles, and the maximal insertion torque value may be a prognostic factor in determining success.

To compare the efficacy of immediate nonocclusal loading (test group) versus early loading (control group) in partially edentulous patients. Fifty-two patients in 5 Italian private practices were randomized to 1 of the treatments: 25 to the immediately loaded group and 27 to the early loaded group. To be immediately loaded, single implants had to be inserted with a torque of > 30 Ncm, and splinted implants had to be inserted with a torque of > 20 Ncm. Implants in the immediately loaded group were provided with full acrylic resin nonoccluding temporary restorations within 48 hours after placement. After 2 months, full occluding provisional restorations were provided. Implants in the early loading group were not submerged and were loaded after 2 months. At 8 months, provisional restorations were replaced with definitive metal-ceramic prostheses. Outcome measures were prosthesis and implant failures as well as biologic and prosthetic complications recorded by nonblinded assessors...

Background: The original protocol of Brinemark to achieve predictable osseointegration for oral implants has substantially been modified. One may question whether results are influenced by those modifications, especially for the longterm prognosis. Purpose: The goal of the present study was to investigate the impact of those parameters that deviate from the original protocol as defined by P-I Brhemark. Materials and Methods: In this study, 246 patients with 263 fixed partial prostheses supported by 668 Brinemark implants were followed from 1 to 15 years (mean: 6.3 yr). Radiographs were taken at the time of abutment connection, at 3 to 6 months, at 12 months, and then every 3 years. The bone level was rated mesially and distally from the implants on a total of 2588 radiographs. Results: A positive relation between abutment length and marginal bone level was found (p > .0001). The maxilla (p = .03), porcelain (p = .007), long abutments (p = .008), and regular-sized diameter implants (p = .001) all exhibited more bone loss in the first 6 months. After 6 months, only long implants showed more bone loss (p = .03). Conclusions: Overall, the marginal bone level remained stable around Brinemark implants, never surpassing 2.2 mm, even after 15 years. Although longer implants lost more bone over time, this has to be interpreted with respect to higher resorption rates in less resorbed jaws.

Background: This study evaluated full-arch rehabilitation of patients with immediately placed implants in terms of the cumulative implant survival rate, risk factors for implant failure, and patient satisfaction. Methods: Time-to-event data of 52 completely edentulous jaws (370 implants) were collected using retrospective clinical chart review for the time period from 2008 to 2014. A conventional two stage approach for surgery was adopted to immediately placed implants in the maxilla, and immediate placement and immediate loading protocols for the mandible were followed. The study calculated the 7-year cumulative survival rates (CSR), and a Bayesian hierarchical Cox proportional hazard model was used to measure the effect of covariates. Patient satisfaction on chewing ability, esthetic appearance, and overall satisfaction was also measured with a face-to-face interview survey. Results: Of the total 370 implants, 194 were immediate placement. Two delayed loading maxillary implants failed within the first year, and another one failed in the second year of loading. Two failures were recorded in the first year and one in seven years for the immediate loading mandibular implants. The 1-, 5-, and 7-year CSR of the 370 implants were 0.989 (0.979, 1.000), 0.986 (0.975, 0.998), and 0.978 (0.957, 0.999), respectively. Only the length of the implant affected implant failure (p < 0.05); other patient characteristics, systemic diseases, implant diameter, immediate loading, and immediate placement, did not have an effect on implant failure rates. Patients reported a high degree of satisfaction regardless of their age group or length of the observation period. Conclusions: Immediately placed implant had CSR as high as delayed placed implants, and 7-year CSRs of immediate loading were not significantly different from delayed loading. The procedure also had a high degree of chewing ability, esthetic appearance, and overall satisfaction. The study results suggested that the clinical procedures applied in this study to completely edentulous patients were acceptable rehabilitation procedures.
