Randomized controlled clinical study comparing two types of two-piece dental implants supporting fixed restorations-Results at 8 years of loading.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess clinical, technical, biological, and radiographic outcomes of implants supporting fixed restorations using two types of dental implants with non-matching implant-abutment junctions at 8 years.

Materials and methods

Sixty-four patients were randomly assigned to receive one of two implant systems (S1 or S2) and eventually fixed restorations. Patients were examined at loading (T_L ), one (T₁ ), three (T₃ ), five (T₅ ), and eight years (T₈ ). Outcome measures included implant and restoration survival, technical and biological complications, and radiographic bone levels. All data were analyzed on the implant and patient level.

Results

Ninety-eight implants were inserted in 64 patients and loaded wit
