Summary
Immediately loaded MonoType implants in edentulous patients demonstrated a high success rate. This study found a cumulative six-year success rate of 94% for these dental implants.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Implantology
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Dental implants are a common solution for tooth loss.
- Immediate loading protocols offer potential benefits in treatment time.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical outcomes of immediately loaded interforaminal MonoType implants in edentulous patients.
Main Methods:
- A study included 34 edentulous patients receiving 136 interforaminal MonoType implants.
- Bar retention prostheses were fabricated and fitted shortly after surgery.
- Follow-up data was collected from 28 patients over an average of three years.
Main Results:
- Five implants failed, resulting in a cumulative six-year success rate of 94%.
- The hybrid prostheses provided functional and aesthetic restoration.
Conclusions:
- Immediately loaded interforaminal MonoType implants show excellent success rates in edentulous patients.
- Results are comparable to other implant systems using immediate loading protocols.
