Long-term outcome of one-piece implants. Part II: Prosthetic outcomes. A systematic literature review with meta-analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term clinical performance of prosthetic reconstructions on one-piece implants, with a focus on technical and biological complications.

Materials And Methods: An electronic MEDLINE search complemented by a manual search was conducted to identify randomized and prospective controlled clinical trials on one-piece implants. Additional inclusion criteria were a mean follow-up period of at least 5 years and an inception cohort where more than 80% of the enrolled patients remained in the study at the 5- or 10-year observation point.
