The aim of this retrospective clinical trial was to evaluate the performance of 91 turned implants placed in vertically augmented ridges in 33 patients by means of guided bone regeneration techniques after a mean follow-up of 15 years. A total of 88 implants were in function (97% survival rate), whereas 9 showed peri-implantitis (9.9%). A mean radiographic bone loss of 1.02 mm between the baseline evaluation (1 year after loading) and the final visit (13 to 21 years later) was recorded. In conclusion, turned implants placed in vertically augmented bone seem to remain stable after many years of function.

Abstract
The aim of this retrospective clinical trial was to evaluate the performance of 91 turned implants placed in vertically augmented ridges in 33 patients by means of guided bone regeneration techniques after a mean follow-up of 15 years. A total of 88 implants were in function (97% survival rate), whereas 9 showed peri-implantitis (9.9%). A mean radiographic bone loss of 1.02 mm between the baseline evaluation (1 year after loading) and the final visit (13 to 21 years later) was recorded. In conclusion, turned implants placed in vertically augmented bone seem to remain stable after many years of function.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
