Change in peri-implant marginal bone level.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Background
Adaptation of a dental implant to the existing anatomy by using shorter implants is presumed to be a reliable alternative procedure reducing the number and complexity of surgical treatment procedures, treatment time and morbidity. Short dental implants are thought to be a significant asset when aiming for avoiding bone augmentation procedures. Ten-years studies on short implants revealed that results are favourable and that survival rates are comparable to longer implants. However, the number of studies on short implants is limited and much more studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm these positive outcomes.
Main research question
The primary objective of the study is marginal bone level changes by radiological assessments at 10-years follow-up. Secondary objectives are implant and restoration survival, condition of peri- implant mucosa and patients’ satisfaction.
Design (including population, confounders/outcomes)
The study design is an observational study of a group of patients which were treated 10 years ago with a short dental implant and an implant-supported restoration because of a missing tooth in the posterior region. Outcomes: primary outcome is the change in marginal peri-implant bone level 10 years after placing the definitive restoration. Secondary outcome measures will be implant and restoration survival, peri-implant mucosa health and patients’ satisfaction using a questionnaire.
Expected results
Stable peri-implant bone levels, high implant and restoration survival rate and satisfied patients.

Belangrijkste voorwaarden om deel te mogen nemen (Inclusiecriteria)
• Inclusion criteria:
• Patients referred to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 10 years ago and treated with a short dental implant and an implant-supported restoration because of having a missing tooth in the posterior region. At the time of treatment:
• The patient was 18 years or older;
• The missing tooth was a premolar or molar in maxilla or mandible;
• Sufficient healthy and vital bone to insert a dental implant with a minimum length of 6 mm and at least 4.0 mm in diameter with initial stability > 45 Ncm
• The implant site was free from infection;
• Adequate oral hygiene (modified plaque index and modified sulcus bleeding index ≤ 1);
• Sufficient mesio-distal, bucco-lingual, and interocclusal space for placement of an anatomic restoration;
• The patient was capable of understanding and giving informed consent.
Belangrijkste redenen om niet deel te kunnen nemen (Exclusiecriteria)
• Exclusion criteria at the time of treatment:
• Medical and general contraindications for the surgical procedures;
• Presence of an active and uncontrolled periodontal disease;
• Bruxism;
• Smoking
• A history of local radiotherapy to the head and neck region.
