AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the survival rate and complications of 377 dental implants with a double octagon connection over a 4-year period, finding a 99.7% survival rate and a 0.53% complication rate.
- The research also explored the relationships between implant dimensions (diameter and length), bone quality, and insertion torque, revealing that increased diameter correlates with higher primary stability.
- Additionally, the design of the connection system appeared to minimize the risk of prosthetic component screws loosening.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival rate and incidence of prosthetic complications in 377 implants with a double octagon connection. Furthermore, the correlations among implant dimensions (diameter and length), bone quality, and insertion torque were investigated. A 4-year multicenter prospective clinical study was designed to evaluate the survival rate of 377 dental implants inserted in 189 patients between January 2004 and April 2010. After an average follow-up of 46 months, the implant survival rate was 99.7%, and the incidence of complication was 0.53%. Moreover, insertion torque was statistically related in a significant way to implant diameter. The connection system seemed to reduce the risk that the prosthetic component screw would loosen. Within the limits of this study, it was observed that a wider diameter corresponded to a higher implant primary stability. Implant length did not seem to be critical in obtaining higher primary stability.
