Introduction: Long-term clinical success of non-splinted, posterior, and short implants still is unclear. This prospective cohort study reports the 10-year follow-up of 6-mm implants supporting single crowns in the posterior region, and patient-reported outcomes.
Methods: Baseline sample comprised 20 patients treated with 46 screw-retained crowns supported by 6-mm implants with moderately rough implant surface.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how biomechanical factors of implant-supported dentures impact bone loss around implants after one year.
- The research involved 246 implants supporting 48 dentures and utilized advanced imaging techniques to track changes in bone around the implants.
- Key findings showed that the clinical crown/implant ratio significantly affected bone loss on specific implant sides, while the anterior cantilever helped reduce bone loss on the lingual side.
