Statement Of Problem: Although 1-piece implants are associated with positive clinical outcomes, including improved implant stability, overall survival rate, and marginal bone levels, a few studies have suggested that 1-piece implants have low success rates.
Purpose: This prospective multicenter study evaluated the efficacy of 1-piece implants placed in immediate function in private clinic-based and hospital-based settings with a focus on marginal bone level changes and esthetic outcomes over a 3-year follow-up period.
Material And Methods: A total of 93 one-piece implants (29 maxillary, 64 mandibular) were placed in 63 participants (25 men and 38 women) at 1 university hospital and 3 private clinics.
