Purpose.
To evaluate implant survival, peri-implant bone loss, and complications affecting fixed full-arch (FFA) restorations supported by implants with a knife-edge thread design and nanostructured, calcium-incorporated surface.
Methods.
Between January 2013 and December 2015, all patients referred for implant-supported FFA restorations were considered for enrollment in this study.
All patients received implants with a knife-edge thread design and nanostructured calcium-incorporated surface (Anyridge®, Megagen, South Korea) were restored with FFA restorations and enrolled in a recall program.
The final outcomes were implant survival, peri-implant bone loss, biologic/prosthetic complications, and “complication-free” survival of restorations.
Results.
Twenty-four patients were selected.
Overall, 215 implants were inserted (130 maxilla, 85 mandible), 144 in extraction sockets and 71 in healed ridges.
Thirty-six FFAs were delivered (21 maxilla, 15 mandible): 27 were immediately loaded and 9 were conventionally loaded.
The follow-up ranged from 1 to 3 years.
Two fixtures failed, yielding an implant survival rate of 95.9% (patient-based).
A few complications were registered, for a “complication-free” survival of restorations of 88.9%.
Conclusions.
FFA restorations supported by implants with a knife-edge thread design and nanostructured, calcium-incorporated surface are successful in the short term, with high survival and low complication rates; long-term studies are needed to confirm these outcomes.
