AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the long-term performance of anodized surface implants over an average of 10.4 years, revealing a 91.7% success rate among 223 implants.
- Peri-implantitis occurred in 28.3% of the implants, affecting 44% of the patients, with 4.9% of affected implants ultimately failing.
- The findings suggest that anodized implants are particularly susceptible to peri-implantitis, especially in the posterior mandible and in patients with poor plaque control.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term performance of anodized surface implants placed in native bone and followed-up for up to 17 years. Success and survival rates, prevalence of peri-implantitis, and the correlation between the presence of peri-implantitis and other clinical and demographic variables were calculated. After a mean follow-up time of 10.4 years (range: 5 to 17 years), 91.7% of 223 analyzed implants were still in function. Peri-implantitis affected 63 implants (28.3%) in 26 patients (44%). Eleven implants with peri-implantitis (4.9%) failed. Within the limits of this retrospective analysis, anodized implants appear to be prone to peri-implantitis, mainly in the posterior mandible and in patients with unsatisfactory plaque control.
