Summary
This study shows that scalloped NobelPerfect implants used in immediate provisionalization procedures achieve high success rates (96.8%) and excellent esthetic outcomes, preserving bone levels.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Periodontology
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Immediate provisionalization in the esthetic zone is a demanding clinical procedure.
- Preservation of the interproximal bony lamella is crucial for long-term esthetic success.
- Scalloped implant designs may offer advantages in bone preservation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical performance of the scalloped NobelPerfect implant.
- To assess success rates, marginal bone levels, and esthetic outcomes with immediate provisionalization.
- To determine the efficacy of a scalloped design in preserving interproximal bone.
Main Methods:
- A one-stage surgical procedure with immediate prosthetic restoration.
- Placement of 31 NobelPerfect implants in 20 patients in the esthetic zone.
- Follow-up for up to 27 months, assessing success rates, marginal bone levels, and Pink Esthetic Score (PES).
Main Results:
- A high implant success rate of 96.8% was observed.
- Marginal bone levels averaged 1.7 mm above the first thread and remained stable.
- Mean PES ratings indicated favorable esthetic outcomes (11.3 out of 14).
Conclusions:
- The scalloped NobelPerfect implant demonstrates clinical efficacy in one-stage procedures.
- The implant design appears to preserve the interproximal bony lamella.
- Positive survival rates, bone stability, and esthetic results support the use of this implant design.
