[Preliminary results of short-term follow-up after MIS screw-type implants with rough surface].
The present article describes the preliminary results of a short-term follow up retrospective study of 104 external hex, screw-type MIS implants with rough surface that were consecutively implanted in 34 patients. The implants were followed up between 1 to 3 years. 49 implants were placed in the maxilla and 55 in the mandible. Bone regenerative procedures were carried out simultaneously in the time of implant placement in 21 of the implants. A total of 6 implants failed (5.7%) during the observation period, all in the first year after implant placement. Two implants failed in the same diabetic patient, and one in a heavy smoker. Two of the failed implants were placed together with bone regenerative procedures, and another one was with no initial stability at the time of implant placement. This short-term follow up report has shown that the success rate of MIS screw-type implants with rough surface is similar to the success rate reported for other implant systems. However, long-term follow up is needed to verify the long-term success MIS implant system.
