Introduction.
To evaluate outcomes of wide-diameter (6 mm) implants immediately provisionalized with cement-retained single crowns in posterior molar sites.
Materials and Methods.
Forty-eight consecutive patients received a total of 53 moderately rough-surface, 6 mm diameter implants in healed sites.
All implants were immediately provisionalized with a cement-retained provisional crown.
Final prosthesis with cement-retained porcelain fused to metal crowns was delivered 3–6 months later.
Patients were followed up for 1 year.
Outcome measures were implant failures and success rate, complications, marginal bone levels, bone level changes, papilla index, bleeding on probing, and inflammation.
Results.
One patient was lost to follow-up.
At one year, the implant survival and success rate were 98.1%.
The mean marginal bone loss after 1 year was − 0.17 ± 1.84 mm.
Ideal papilla score was recorded at 83.8% of the sites.
More than 95.6% of the sites showed no bleeding or inflammation.
No procedure-related or device-related adverse events were reported.
Conclusion.
Wide-diameter (6 mm) implants can safely and successfully replace single posterior molars.
Longer follow-up studies are necessary to evaluate the long-term success of these implants.
