Clinical and radiographic prospective study of customized one-piece titanium and one-piece fusion-sputtered zirconia implants: five-year mean follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the clinical and radiographic assessment of customized fusion-sputtered one-piece zirconia implants.

Methods

Twenty-eight patients received either fusion sputtered one-piece zirconia implants (n = 14) or one-piece titanium implants (n = 14). All implants were one-piece designs. After 4 months of immediate loading, all implants were restored with a monolithic zirconia crown. All implants were evaluated at baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years. Implant mobility, plaque index, and gingival index evaluations were performed. The measurements of marginal bone level were calculated radiographically.

Results

All implants were well maintained through the evaluation period with a 100% survival rate without any clinical complications. Regarding
