Long‐term outcomes of narrow diameter implants in posterior jaws: A retrospective study with at least 8‐year follow‐up

摘要

This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study with a mean follow‐up time of 10.1 years (SD: 2.5 years). Patients receiving NDIs in posterior jaw were reviewed. Implant survival, hardware complication, modified plaque index (mPI), peri‐implant probing depth (PPD), percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP%), marginal bone loss (MBL), and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Log‐rank test and t test were used to detect the influence of implant location and restoration type.
