Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Single tooth replacement is a common dental procedure.
  • Dental implants offer a durable solution for missing teeth.
  • Long-term clinical data is crucial for evaluating implant success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clinically and radiographically assess the Astra Tech Implant ST for single tooth replacement.
  • To evaluate implant performance and bone level changes over a 5-year period.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-year prospective study involving 15 patients with missing maxillary anterior teeth.
  • Placement of Astra Tech Implant ST (13mm and 15mm lengths).
  • Clinical evaluations and periapical radiographs taken at crown insertion, 1, 3, and 5 years.

Main Results:

  • High implant survival rate with no losses in 14 out of 15 patients.
  • No abutment screw loosening or soft tissue complications reported.
  • Stable marginal bone levels observed, with minimal changes from baseline over 5 years.

Conclusions:

  • Astra Tech Implant ST shows high success rates for single tooth replacement.
  • The implant system maintains stable bone levels over 5 years of function.
  • This implant is a reliable option for restoring missing maxillary anterior teeth.
