Implants are the latest development in the field of prothodontics, but still not widely used because of its expensive and its lengthier duration. Patients with ideal bone quantity and quality accommodate the conventional implants. The selection of the width of the implants has been widely speculated and the manufacturers have recently launched a series of 'mini' implants of narrower diameter. The long-term success rate of these narrow diameter implants, needs to be assessed.
This 2 year retrospective study summarizes the recorded observations from 11 patients who received 2.4 mm diameter implants for single tooth restorations.
One implant failed 10 months after loading. The success rate was 90.9%. The clinical evaluation of the peri implant mucosa using periodontal indices gave satisfying results for the implant-mucosa interfaces.
The success rate of the mini implants of 90.9%, is encouraging and hence studies involving larger number patients can be undertaken to study the efficacy of this novel treatment plan.
种植体是口腔修复学领域的最新进展,但由于其价格昂贵且疗程较长,仍未得到广泛应用。具有理想骨量和骨质量的患者适合使用传统种植体。种植体宽度的选择一直备受猜测,制造商最近推出了一系列直径较窄的“迷你”种植体。这些窄直径种植体的长期成功率需要评估。
这项为期两年的回顾性研究总结了11例接受直径2.4毫米种植体进行单颗牙齿修复的患者的记录观察结果。
一枚种植体在加载后10个月失败。成功率为90.9%。使用牙周指数对种植体周围黏膜进行的临床评估,对于种植体-黏膜界面给出了令人满意的结果。
90.9%的迷你种植体成功率令人鼓舞,因此可以开展涉及更多患者的研究,以研究这种新治疗方案的疗效。
