Abstract

PURPOSE
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of resorbable blasting media surface tapered implant.
METHODS
169 Osstem(R) GS III dental implants in 73 patients who received implant treatments at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, were included in this study. The incidence of biological and prosthetical complications has been carefully analysed for each implant.
RESULTS
The short-term implant survival rate was 97.63%, success rate 94.7%. The prevalence of biological complications was 15.38% and the prevalence of prosthetic complications was 13.04%. The mean value of crestal bone loss was 0.28+/-0.57 mm. The relationship between loading periods and marginal bone loss was small and not statistically significant. In mandible, marginal bone loss was larger than in maxilla, no statistically significant. Also, length and diameter of implant had no relationship with marginal bone loss.
CONCLUSION
We suggest that this implant system could achieve successful and stable results.
