Summary
One-piece implants (OPIs) are reliable for dental restorations in canine sites, showing high survival and success rates. This study confirms OPIs as effective devices for oral rehabilitation, with no impact from studied variables on outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Prosthodontics
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- One-piece implants (OPIs) integrate the abutment as part of the implant, typically welded and immediately loaded.
- Limited research exists specifically on OPIs placed in canine (cuspid) sites.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the reliability and outcomes of one-piece implants (OPIs) placed in canine sites.
- To assess survival and success rates of OPIs in this specific anatomical location.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective study was conducted on 19 patients (10 female, 9 male) aged 43-80 years.
- Implants were placed by a single surgeon at the University of Chieti Dental Clinic between January and December 2010.
Main Results:
- The overall survival rate (SVR) was 96.8%, and the success rate (SCR) was 100%.
- Statistical analysis indicated no significant impact of studied variables on implant survival or clinical success (crestal bone resorption).
Conclusions:
- One-piece implants (OPIs) demonstrate high reliability for oral rehabilitation in canine sites.
- The findings support the use of OPIs for restoring function and aesthetics in the canine region.
