Single-stage surgery for implant placement: a retrospective study
The Journal of Oral Implantology
|January 1, 1997
Summary
Single-stage implant surgery provides cost savings and improved patient comfort. This technique demonstrated high success rates, with 99.2% of implants showing no mobility or pain in long-term follow-up.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Implantology
Background:
- Single-stage implant placement offers potential benefits over traditional two-stage approaches.
- These advantages include reduced treatment time, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced patient comfort and function.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical outcomes and success rates of the single-stage implant placement technique.
- To assess implant survival, patient-reported symptoms, and peri-implant tissue health.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 58 patients received 240 implants using a single-stage surgical protocol.
- Implant survival was monitored until the final attachment of a Dolder bar.
- A subset of 27 patients and 125 implants underwent extended follow-up.
Main Results:
- No implant failures were observed before the final prosthetic restoration.
- In the long-term follow-up group, 99.2% of implants showed no signs of mobility or pain.
- Gingival health and oral hygiene indicators were consistently rated as acceptable to ideal.
Conclusions:
- The single-stage implant placement technique is a viable and successful treatment modality.
- This approach offers significant advantages in terms of patient experience and clinical efficacy.
- High implant survival rates and excellent peri-implant tissue health support the use of this technique.
