Biological and mechanical complications of angulated abutments connected to fixed dental prostheses: A systematic review with meta-analysis. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess the biological and mechanical issues related to angulated abutments in dental implants used for full-arch and partial jaw rehabilitations, with a follow-up of at least one year.
  • A total of nine studies involving 797 patients and over 4,000 implants were analyzed, revealing that angulated abutments significantly increased implant failure rates and marginal bone loss compared to straight abutments.
  • The research concluded that common prosthetic complications, particularly related to screw retention, were frequent and that angulated abutments led to more marginal bone loss after one year.

Article Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the biological and mechanical complications of angulated abutments on full-arch and partial jaw rehabilitations with a follow-up for at least 1 year.

Methods: Electronic search was carried out in MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science. Studies published between January 2000 and January 2019 were included. The quality of the included studies was assessed. The data extraction was focused on implant loss, marginal bone loss and mechanical complications, and meta-analyses were performed for marginal bone loss, mechanical complications and implant failure.

Results: Nine studies, three prospective and six retrospective cohort studies were included. They reported on 797 patients that received 4127 implants. The total number of abutments was 4079 of which 1673 were angulated, and 2406 were straight. All abutments were prefabricated. Angulated abutments were associated with increased implant failure rates (two studies; RR = 7.30; 95% CI = 2.79-19.08) and an effect that was both statistically significant (P < .001) and clinically relevant. Three studies reported differentiated data for mechanical and technical complications at 1 year of follow-up, being mostly related to the retention screw while screw fracture. Angulated abutments were associated with a statistically significant increase in MBL 1 year after insertion compared to straight abutments (three studies; MD = 0.08 mm; 95% CI = 0.01-0.14 mm; P = .02), which might be, however, clinically negligible.

Conclusions: The prosthetic complications such as screw loosening and abutment loosening were frequent. After 1 year of follow-up, implants supporting angulated abutments yielded significantly more marginal bone loss than those supporting straight abutments.
