Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Implant denture has been the conventional restoration means of dentition defect and edentulous gradually. A variety of implant systems are applied domestically and abroad with respective clinical effects.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effects of 3i implant system with double-etched surface preparation.
METHODS: Ninety-five patients were selected as subjects. A total of 157 3i implants were implanted after contraindications to dental implantation were excluded. In view of various conditions of the soft and hard tissues in edentulous area, different surgical techniques were adopted accordingly. Permanent restorations were finished 1 to 3 months after the implantation. The following period was 24 months. Clinical effects were evaluated through clinical and imaging examination.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Favorable osseointegration was formed rapidly and no X-ray radiolucent area around the implants was observed in 157 implants. There was no implant loosening or shedding. High degree of satisfaction from patients was achieved. Both the survival rate and successful rate of implants were 100%. Implants with double-etched surface preparation facilitate the osteoblasts chemotaxis and osseointegration. 3i implants system could be considered as a manageable and effective implant system with shorter treatment course.
