Retrospective Study of Implantium® Dental Implants: Clinical and Radiographic Results of 22 Months

Over the last years, growing attention has been paid to the several domestic implant systems. This study presents results of a clinical trial of Implantium® implants followed up to 22 months. Two hundred fifty-two Implantium® implants were investigated which were placed in 119 patients between June 2003 and November 2004. The average follow-up period from implant placement was 10. 9months(SD 4.9) and mean loading period was 7.9months(SD 4.3). Survival rate of implants was evaluated. For the evaluation of marginal bone changes, only the implants in function and more than 12 months of follow-up period from installation were considered. Crestal bone loss of 118 implants was analyzed using linear radiographic measurements. After the first surgical stage, there was no failures of implants. No implant was lost after prosthetic loading time. The crestal bone level after fixture installation and after 1 year was 0.16±0.30mm and 0.58±0.64mm, respectively. The marginal bone loss during first one year was 0.44±0.55mm.
