Abstract
This multi-centre study evaluated the performance of the
Osseotite implant in the mandibular arch. Osseotite implants (n =
688) were placed in 172 patients; 43.5% were placed in the anterior
mandible and 66.5% in the posterior mandible. Fifteen per cent of
the implants were placed in soft bone, 56.9% in normal bone and
28.1% in dense bone. During placement, 49.9% of the implants were
identified as having a tight fit, 48.6% a firm fit and 1.5% a loose
fit. About one-third of the implants (32.4%) were short (10 mm in
length or less). After 36 months, only 5 implants had been lost,
for a cumulative survival rate of 99.3%. The 3-year results of this
study indicate a high degree of predictability with placement of
Osseotite implants in the mandibular arch.
