ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to report on 1-year outcomes of fixed full-arch fiber-reinforced resin bridges on short implants in atrophic maxillary jaws. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A prospective cohort study was designed and patients with severely atrophic maxillas, corresponding to Cawood and Howell Classes V and VI, were included. Mesial and distal peri-implant bone levels were assessed on panoramic radiographs that were taken at the time of implant insertion (baseline) and during follow-up visits.RESULTS:
Eighteen patients with 72 implants inserted in atrophic maxillary jaws were included in this study. All patients had a follow-up visit 1 year after loading. The cumulative 1-year patient-based implant survival rate was 88.8%, and the cumulative 1-year implant-based survival rate was 97.2%. The marginal bone level (MBL) was -0.5 ± 0.5 mm at the time of loading (n = 72) and -0.8 ± 0.6 mm (n = 72) after 1 year. The MBL depended substantially on the depth at the time of insertion. No prosthetic failure, such as chipping or fracture, occurred within the first year of loading.CONCLUSION:
Prosthetic rehabilitation of atrophic maxillas with prostheses supported by 4 4.0- × 5.0-mm or 3.0- × 8.0-mm implants seems to be a viable and cost-effective treatment option in the short-term.
