Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical results of marginal bone loss of the maxillary and manbibular posterial
immediate implants and analyse the possible influence of different conditions.
Materials and Methods: A total of 89 patients (67 men and 21 women) received 107 short implants between 2013 and 2015. The
potential influence of different variables (cause of extraction, implant diameter, length, location, surgical procedure, width of extraction
socket, general disease, additional bone grafting procedure) were studied based on the medical records and oral radiographs.
Results: Out of 107 immediate implants, none was lost after mean observation time of 12 months and the cumulative survival rate was
100%. Mean marginal bone loss was 0.09 mm on 3 month, 0.05 mm on 6 month and 0.03 mm on 24 months. Implant type and extraction
cause and other factors had an impact on marginal bone loss (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Immediate implants is considered as an effective and safe treatment option on most situations, even in atrophic jaws and
with general disease. (JOURNAL OF DENTAL IMPLANT RESEARCH 2016;35(1):9-16)
