The role of implant surface modifications, shape and material on the success of osseointegrated dental implants. A Cochrane systematic review.
We tested the hypothesis of no difference in implant failures between various dental implant types. We searched for all randomised clinical trials comparing different implant types/systems with a follow up of at least one year on four databases. Screening of eligible trials, quality assessment and data extraction were conducted in duplicate. Thirty-one trials were identified. Twelve trials, reporting results of 512 patients, were included. No significant differences were observed for implant failures. There were minor statistically significant differences for peri-implant bone level changes. Turned surfaces had a 20% reduction in risk of being affected by perimplantitis over a 3-year period.
