Real-world study with 1000 patients treated with gradually anodized surface implants: Initial results

Introduction

Gradually anodized implant surface is characterized by a moderately rough apex and a minimally rough collar designed to promote early osseointegration, limit peri-implantitis, and facilitate cleaning in case it occurs.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical performance of TiUltra in a large-scale prospective real-world data (RWD) collection from routine clinical practice and a diverse population of consecutive patients with varying comorbidities and demographics, not subject to the strict eligibility criteria nor a specified protocol typically followed in a clinical trial.

Key Results

‒ Enrolled in routine clinical practice from a diverse population not subjected to the strict eligibility criteria, this real-world study included patients with varying comorbidities. Of the 1027 patients, 77 (7.5%) were nicotine users, 42 (4.1%) had parafunctional tendencies, 85 (8.3%) had a history of periodontitis, 15 (1.5%) of peri-implantitis, 18 (1.8%) of severe oral mucositis, 23 (2.2%) diabetes, and 59 (5.7%) other significant diseases including osteoporosis, took bisphosphonates, or had various cancers (but no oral cancer).

‒ Of the 1391 implants placed in 938 treated patients, 14 failures occurred during the 0-22.8 months of follow-up.

‒ At prosthesis delivery, 99.9% of sites had no or only mild inflammation.
