| Does a large dehiscent implant surface at placement affect the 5-year treatment outcome? An assessment of implants placed to support a maxillary overdenture Aug 20th 2015, 00:20, by G.C. Boven, H.J.A. Meijer, W. Slot, A. Vissink, G.M. Raghoebar The aim of this study was to assess the 5-year clinical and radiographic outcome of implants with a dehiscent surface at implant placement.A total of 26 consecutive patients (mean age 61.6 years; SD 8.0 years) with at least one implant with a dehiscent implant surface of ≥ two thirds of the implant length on the labial side were included. All implants were placed to support a maxillary overdenture. The implants were placed with adequate primary stability and the dehiscent surface was covered with autologous bone, inorganic bovine bone and a resorbable membrane. |
