ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Immediate implant placement in conjunction with intentional root retention is a recently introduced technique, but the majority of existing documentation is limited to short-term reports with low level of evidence. Hence, the aim of this study was to document the long-term clinical and radiographic results of the root membrane technique.METHODS:
This retrospective study reports on clinical results of the root membrane technique for periodontal ligament-mediated immediate implant placement with up to 10 years of follow-up from 3 private dental practices. Anterior implants placed with immediate loading from January 2006 to December 2016 were assessed. Kaplan-Meier estimators were computed for reporting of implant success and survival.RESULTS:
A sample of 182 patients (82 men and 100 women, age range 18-83 years) received 250 immediate implants (230 maxilla, 20 mandible) after the root membrane concept and followed-up for a mean of 49.94 months (±32.5). Overall, 5 implant failures were recorded for a 10-year cumulative patient-level implant survival rate of 96.5%. Considering mechanical and biological complications, the 10-year cumulative implant success rate was 87.9%.CONCLUSIONS:
Within the limits of the retrospective design, the root membrane technique showed long-term success rates comparable to those of conventional immediate implants.
