The purpose of this clinical series was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 20 zirconia dental implants, with a minimum follow-up of two years. Patients with at least one zirconia dental implant were included, with a mean follow-up of 34.05 months. The patient complaints such as pain and foreign body sensation, as well as clinical parameters including peri-implant infections with suppuration, implant mobility, gingival index (GI), modified plaque index (mPI), modified sulcus bleeding index (mBI), probing depth (PD) and radiological distance between the implant shoulder to the closest mesial and distal bone-to-implant contact (BIC), were assessed. All zirconia implants were successfully integrated without any pain or foreign body sensation. No mobility was detected in any of the 20 implants. Clinical examination revealed a mean PD of 2.56 mm and a radiological mean distance between the implant shoulder and the initial site of visible bone-to-implant contact (BIC) of 1.44 mm. In addition, GI, mPI and mBI indicated minimal to no inflammation. Results obtained from this series suggest that one-piece zirconia dental implants achieve good clinical and radiographic outcomes over a mean follow-up of 34 months and may be deemed a good option in patients with favorable bone conditions.
本临床系列研究的目的是评估20颗氧化锆牙种植体的临床和影像学结果，最短随访时间为两年。纳入至少植入一颗氧化锆牙种植体的患者，平均随访时间为34.05个月。评估患者的疼痛和异物感等主诉，以及包括种植体周围化脓性感染、种植体松动度、牙龈指数（GI）、改良菌斑指数（mPI）、改良龈沟出血指数（mBI）、探诊深度（PD）以及种植体肩部至最近的近中和远中骨与种植体接触（BIC）的放射学距离等临床参数。所有氧化锆种植体均成功整合，无任何疼痛或异物感。20颗种植体中均未检测到松动。临床检查显示平均PD为2.56mm，种植体肩部与可见骨与种植体接触（BIC）初始部位之间的放射学平均距离为1.44mm。此外，GI、mPI和mBI表明炎症轻微或无炎症。本系列研究结果表明，一体式氧化锆牙种植体在平均34个月的随访期内取得了良好的临床和影像学结果，对于骨条件良好的患者可能是一个不错的选择。
