With implantation becoming a predictable treatment for dental restorations, patients also have become more critical towards the esthetic outcome and the longevity of the restorations. At the same time, clinicians seek for insertion techniques which can reduce the number of surgeries needed from tooth removal to the final restoration.</p><p>When in 1975 Professor Schulte and his team at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen first introduced the concept of immediate implantation in fresh extraction sockets, it seemed promising at first [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. However, the use of a full aluminum-oxide ceramic implant (Tübingen implant, Friedrichsfeld, Mannheim, Germany, shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref> on the left side) with small lacunae for bone apposition rather than a screw-shaped profile led to an intolerable rate of early implant failure.<fig id="Fig1"><label>Fig. 1</label><caption><p>On the <italic>left</italic>, the Tübingen ceramic implant; on the <italic>right</italic>, the Frialit stepped-screw implant. The transgingival part with the cervical groove of the Tübingen implant has been removed in the Frialit implant; this part is now replaced by a mirror-polished transgingival portion of the Frialit abutment; all the intraosseous portion of the implant has now a thread and is shaped like the original Tübingen implant</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="40729_2016_48_Fig1_HTML" id="MO1"></graphic></fig></p><p>Today, almost 40 years after the introduction of the concept of immediate implantation, there have been a lot of developments regarding insertion technique as well as structural changes of the implants and their surfaces and immediate implantation has become a concept widely accepted and proven successful in many studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p><p>This success is often assessed by referring to survival rates. However, a more precise method is the determination of the rate of osseointegration over a long-term period. Many articles, although using radiographic images to assess the bone-level changes, fail to provide the used measurement protocol. An adequate comparison between two or more images can only be achieved by using a constant reference point and reference length as well as a factor to eliminate the distortion factor often present in radiographic images. Further, this is the only way to compare results found by different working groups, or the same group, in different examinations.</p><p>The present study was designed as a retrospective long-term study which compares the peri-implant bone situation of immediate implants and non-immediate implants as a control group (matched with specific criteria) using reliable measurement specifications [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. The hypothesis was that both the immediate implantation and the implantation after a healing period using the Frialit 2 implant system lead to similar results.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><p>All patients within this study were treated at the Dental School of the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen between the 22nd of February in 1991 and the 24th of October in 2005.

This number equally consists of immediate and non-immediate implants. For every immediate implant, a control implant from the non-immediate group was needed. For an ideal comparison, this control implant had to match some criteria. In a 2000 published thesis with a great number of implants, it was shown that the crucial criteria for comparing the survival of implants are the diameter and the location of the implant as well as the gender of the patient [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>].

A total of 974 radiographic images of implants were assessed in this study, 408 were panoramic radiographs and 566 were intraoral radiographs.</p><p>The radiographs where digitalized using a transmitted light scanner (Intelli Scan 1600, QUATOGRAPHIC Technology GmbH, 38112 Braunschweig, Germany) using the Silverfast AI scanprogam (Version 6.4 LaserSoft Imaging AG, 24105 Kiel, Germany) and imported into the Sidexis XG program (Sirona, 64625 Bensheim, Germany). For an ideal result of the scanned images, they were imported with a resolution of 300 dpi and a 16-bit grayscale. The resulting digital images had to be converted from .tiff files to .bmp files before importing them into the Sidexis program.</p><p>The protocol used for measuring the distances in every radiograph was described by the author [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>] and is outlined in Figs. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref> and <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>. Crucial is the determination of a reliable reference line for every implant type. Rather than measuring only the bone level, the “coronal bone defect,” described by the author in 1995 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>], is assessed, which is the extent to which the part of the implant that is meant for osseointegration failed to be osseointegrated.<fig id="Fig4"><label>Fig. 4</label><caption><p>Measurement specifications: outline [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="40729_2016_48_Fig4_HTML" id="MO4"></graphic></fig><fig id="Fig5"><label>Fig. 5</label><caption><p>Measurement specifications: clinical realization [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="40729_2016_48_Fig5_HTML" id="MO5"></graphic></fig></p><p>All these distances were recorded on special evaluation forms, independent for each radiograph.</p><p>The obtained data was transmitted to the SAS JMP program (JMP 9, SAS Institute, Cary, USA) for further processing.</p><p>Since radiographic images are known to have a distortion, all distances had to be multiplied with a factor that was individual for each radiograph. Therefore, the length of the most coronal step was needed. When subtracting this number from the implant length provided by the manufacturer, the exact length from the apical point of the implant to the reference line is obtained. Dividing the distance gathered from the radiograph with the absolute distance provides the factor that is needed to convert all distances measured vertically. The factor for the horizontal distances is similarly obtained by using the measured implant diameter and the real implant diameter provided by the manufacturer.</p><p>The formula used for calculating the coronal bone defect (CBD) is provided in Table <xref rid="Tab3" ref-type="table">3</xref>. The different values added to the depth of the bone defect (DD) are based on the various lengths of the upper most part of the Frialit.<table-wrap id="Tab3"><label>Table 3</label><caption><p>Formula for the CBD</p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr valign="top"><th rowspan="3">Implant diameter and length</th><th>Formula for the calculation of the CBD</th></tr><tr valign="top"><th>(CBD = coronal bone defect)</th></tr><tr valign="top"><th>(DD = defect depth)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr valign="top"><td>3.8 × 13 mm</td><td>CBD = DD + 5 mm</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td>3.8 × 15 mm</td><td>CBD = DD + 7 mm</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td>All other diameters</td><td>CBD = DD + 3.2 mm</td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></p><p>After converting the data from the measured lengths (radiolucency) to the “coronal bone defect” by calculation, the results for the mesial and distal parts were plotted in a chronological sequence. This was carried out to check for outliers and also served as an assessment of plausibility. If an anomaly was found, the radiographs were measured again and the documentation forms were reassessed. Using this technique, errors due to false transmission or measurement errors could be identified and rectified.</p><p>After this, the data set was imported into the Excel program (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA 980526399, USA) for further breakdown. For the final examination of the observed values, the mesial and distal CBD was compared. Since there were no larger differences of the values, the mesial and distal CBD were averaged and this was used for further assessment. The gained results were visualized using box plots according to Tukey [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>] with a limit for the whiskers being 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR).

At the time of the prosthetic treatment, the mean is at 1.2 mm.</p><p>After the time the patients received their prosthodontics, the difference among the means of the CBD was 0.4 mm at its highest (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>).</p><p>For the medians, a similar stable trend could be observed; however, the average values for the medians were found to be a little smaller than the ones for the means, thus indicating asymmetry in the distribution of the data.</p><p>The median value for the immediate implants at the time of insertion was 0.7 mm, while at the time when the patients received their restorations, it was found to be 0.9 mm. Medians varied from 0.7 mm at insertion up to 1.4 mm in the second year and the years 8–10 after the restorations were inserted (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>).</p><p>Figure <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref> also shows that most of the medians were settled between 0.9 and 1.3 mm. The difference within the medians after the time patients received their prosthodontics was at 0.2 mm at its highest.</p><p>The range of the quartiles turned out to be stable. For the upper quartile, values ranging from 1.7 to 2.5 mm were found. Most of them, however, were found to lie within 2–2.2 mm. The lower quartile ranged from 0 to 1 mm. Like for the upper quartile, the majority lay closer together meaning between 0.5 and 1 mm. After the day of the restoration, the values found were a little higher but yet remained stable among each other (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>).</p><p>The corresponding group of non-immediate implants was named the control group (CG) and analyzed the same way, and the results are shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig7" ref-type="fig">7</xref>.<fig id="Fig7"><label>Fig. 7</label><caption><p>CBD in millimeters plotted over 10 years for the control group</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="40729_2016_48_Fig7_HTML" id="MO7"></graphic></fig></p><p>Like the immediate implant group, the mean values for the CG mainly stayed stable.

The hypothesis was that both the immediate implantation and the implantation after a healing period using the Frialit 2 implant system lead to similar results.</p><p>The uneven number of patients is due to the inclusion criteria. All patients that could be matched and were eligible for radiographic assessment were selected for evaluation.</p><p>This study evaluates implants in the every region of the human jaw. Due to the matching of every implant with an implant following the criteria set by the author, both implant groups remain comparable [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>].</p><p>For the inclusion to this study, radiographs of the patients’ implants had to be present for either the time of insertion or the day patients received their definite restorations. For the time after prosthetic treatment, radiographs were taken whenever indicated or for other treatments in order to keep the exposure time to radiation as small as possible.</p><p>Due to the use of a strict and reliable measurement protocol [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>] and the direct plotting of the found values for the bone defects, errors could be identified and reduced to a minimum. The anomalies found mainly occurred due to transcription errors while importing the data from the evaluation forms into the SAS JMP program. For outliers that could not be explained that way, the respective radiograph was reassessed and the measurement step was carried out again and the values corrected whenever needed. The different numbers of radiographs at the time of insertion in both groups are explainable by different reasons. Some radiographs even though acceptable for clinical use could not be assessed in this study either because of overlapping effects from structures adjacent to the implant or if the most apical part of the implant itself was not detectable on the radiographs the radiograph could not be assessed. In order to keep the exposure to radiation as low as possible, radiographs that provided the clinically relevant information were not repeated even though they could not be included in this study.</p><p>The fact that the used measurement protocol is reliable has been proven in former studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>].</p><p>The use of intraoral radiographs as well as panoramic radiographs is an accepted method for the peri-implant bone evaluation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. The radiographic distortions present in panoramic imaging are well known; however, according to several studies, panoramic images are suitable to assess the crestal bone situation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. According to Zechner et al., rotational panoramic and intraoral rectangular radiographs lead to comparable outcomes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. However, this is only possible on the mesial and distal sides. While the possibility to assess the bone in every dimension seems tempting, the higher exposure to radiation needs to be considered. That the mesial and distal defects can be averaged is supported by the work from Cooper et al. in 2010 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>].</p><p>Current studies rarely evaluate the peri-implant bone situation using a clearly defined measurement protocol and therefore are often sensitive to measuring errors. Due to using a clearly defined and proven measurement protocol, abnormalities were mainly caused by transcription errors and could be identified in the plotting step. There is no comparable study over such a period of time with two groups that were matched following specific criteria.</p><p>Although several studies report a better healing for immediately placed implants and a lower rate of resorption for the surrounding bone compared to delayed immediate implants or implants placed in healed sites [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>], the results obtained in this study do not support this thesis. The differences found to the respective points of time show comparable results for both groups.</p><p>The results of Covani et al. suggest that the process of bone remodeling cannot be influenced by changing the time of implantation but merely by the implant position [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. These results compare to the results found by Deng et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. They reported an initial bone resorption of 1.01 mm for immediate implants within the first year, which is similar to the results found in this study.</p><p>Studies that evaluate the peri-implant bone situation specifically in the Frialit 2 implant system were, among others, conducted by Krennmair et al. and Ricci et al. Krennmair et al. found a bone resorption of 1.4 ± 1.2 mm over their follow-up period [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>], which compares to the results found in this study. Ricci et al. found a higher bone resorption of the crestal bone after a 5-year follow-up, being 2.17 ± 1.6 mm in average [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>]. Noteworthy is the high percentage of implants showing a bone loss of more than 3 mm (28.6 %).</p><p>One possibility for the outlier values could be a peri-implant defect with less than three walls. These defects tend to have a lower chance of spontaneous healing [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p><p>When comparing the data sets in our study, there is no deviation from the range of measured tolerance being 0.5 mm for the medians or means among the two groups. The median value for the CBD lies significantly higher for the immediate implants compared to the median value for the control group at the time of insertion. One possible explanation could be the incongruity between the shape of the alveolus and the shape of the implant, thus resulting in a possibility of a contact point, between bone and implant, lying closer to the reference line and therefore showing a higher value for the CBD. The fact that the null hypothesis for the Wilcoxon test was rejected in the second year after prosthodontics could be a result of the assumption of the test. Since the test assumes two groups with distributions different from the normal distribution.</p><p>That immediate and non-immediate placements of Frialit-type implants can achieve similar results was reported by Perry and Lenchewski in 2003. Perry and Lenchewski reported on a similar survival rate for Frialit implants placed as immediate implants and in healed sites [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. However, in his study, there was no radiographic evaluation of the surrounding bone situation.</p><p>When Quirynen et al. did their review on how the time difference between extraction or tooth loss and implantation affects the success of the implant, no significant difference could be found [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>]. They as well as Ortega-Martínez et al. clearly demand more studies evaluating the bone situation for the future [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>]. This question was the motivation for our study.</p></sec><sec id="Sec6"><title>Conclusions</title><p>The examination and comparison of the peri-implant bone situation in immediate implants and a control group of non-immediate implants that were matched following specific criteria over a long period of time (10 years) has shown statistically significant differences only at the time of insertion and for the Wilcoxon hypothesis in the second year after prosthetic treatment.
