Evaluation of single-tooth restorations on ITI dental implants. A prospective study of 29 patients.
From January 1992 to March 1997, a total of 30 ITI hollow cylinder implants were installed to replace lost single maxillary incisor teeth. Conical abutments with cemented all-ceramic crowns were used in 10 cases and the Octa-abutment with screw-retained metallo-ceramic crowns in 19 cases. One implant failed due to postoperative infection, and was extracted a month after installation. After a mean observation time of 3.4 years, the cumulative success rate is 96.7%. Only minor bone loss has occurred around the implants, and there have been no other complications to date. The implant system fulfills the requirements for good function and esthetics.
