Abstract EN
Aim.
To evaluate the effects of fixture design and surface on the early bone formation around immediately loaded implants inserted in the human posterior maxilla.
Materials and Methods.
Ten totally edentulous subjects received two transitional implants: one tapered implant with knife-edge threads/nanostructured calcium-incorporated surface (test: Anyridge®, Megagen, Gyeongbuk, South Korea) and one cylindrical implant with self-tapping threads/sandblasted surface (control: EZPlus®, Megagen).
The implants were placed according to a split-mouth design and immediately loaded to support an interim complete denture; after 8 weeks, they were removed for histologic/histomorphometric analysis.
The bone-to-implant contact (BIC%) and the bone density (BD%) were calculated.
The Wilcoxon test was used to evaluate the differences.
Results.
With test implants, a mean BIC% and BD% of 35.9 (±9.1) and 31.8 (±7.5) were found.
With control implants, a mean BIC% and BD% of 29.9 (±7.6) and 32.5 (±3.9) were found.
The mean BIC% was higher with test implants, but this difference was not significant (p=0.16).
Similar BD% were found in the two groups (p=0.9).
Conclusions.
In the posterior maxilla, under immediate loading conditions, implants with a knife-edge thread design/nanostructured calcium-incorporated surface seem to increase the peri-implant endosseous healing properties, when compared to implants with self-tapping thread design/sandblasted surface.
