Objectives: The purpose of this study is to clinically and radiographically evaluate survival and success rate of multiple
zirconia dental implants positioned in each patient during a follow-up period of at least 12 months up to 48 months.
Study
Design: Eight patients were treated for multiple edentulism with 29 zirconia dental implants. All implants
received immediate temporary restorations and 6 months after surgery were definitively restored. 6 months to 4
years after implant insertion, a clinical-radiographic evaluation was performed in order to estimate peri-implant
tissues health and peri-implant marginal bone loss.
Results: Survival rate within follow-up period was therefore 100%. The average marginal
bone
loss (MBL)
from
baseline to 6
months was
+1.375±0.388 mm;
from
6 months
to 1 year
was
+0.22±0.598 mm; from
1 year
to 2
years
was
-0.368±0.387 mm;
from 2 years to
3 years
was
-0.0669±0.425 mm; from 3 years to 4 years +0.048±0.262
mm. The mean marginal bone loss at 4 years from the implants insertion was +1.208 mm.
Conclusions: According to several studies, when using a radiographic criterion for implant success, marginal bone
loss below 0.9-1.6 mm during the first year in function can be considered acceptable. In our work, radiographic
measurements of MBL showed values not exceeding 1.6 mm during the first year of loading and also 1 year
up to 4 years after surgery further marginal bone loss was minimal and not significant. This peri-implant bone
preservation may be associated to the absence of micro-gap between fixture and abutment since zirconia dental
implants are one-piece implant. Moreover, zirconia is characterized by high biocompatibility and it accumulates
significantly fewer bacteria than titanium.
