xml:lang="en"><p><italic>Objectives</italic>. The aim was to evaluate survival and success rates, soft tissue health, and radiographic marginal bone loss (MBL) of zirconia implants placed in the esthetic and posterior areas of the jaws and in association with multiple or single implant restorations after at least 6 months of definitive restoration. <italic>Material and Methods</italic>. 35 one-piece zirconium implants were utilized for single or partially edentulous ridges rehabilitation. All implants received immediate temporary restorations and six months after surgery were definitively restored. Every 6 months after implant placement, a clinical-radiographic evaluation was performed. For each radiograph, the measurements of MBL were calculated. <italic>Results</italic>. The results showed that the mean MBL at 48-month followup was 1.631 mm. The mean MBL during the first year of loading was not more significant for implants placed in the first molar regions than for those positioned in other areas. Moreover, no differences in marginal bone level changes were revealed for multiple and single implants, whereas MBL in the first year was observed to be slightly greater for implants placed in the maxilla than for those placed in the mandible. <italic>Conclusion</italic>. Zirconia showed a good marginal bone preservation that could be correlated with one-piece morphology and characteristics of zirconia implants.</p></div></front><back><div1

Introduction</title><p>The use of endosseous implants achieves predictable results in terms of survival and success rates of oral rehabilitation [<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. More recently, greater interest is directed towards esthetics of the prosthetic rehabilitations. Successful esthetic results of dental implant placement require knowledge of essential biological concepts and skill in different surgical techniques [<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. </p><p>Anyway, the surgical techniques or prosthetic [<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] solutions by now proposed are not always sufficient to achieve long-term esthetic results; in fact, it was demonstrated that periimplant soft tissues tend to recede after positioning a definitive prosthetic restoration [<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. In order to avoid grayish transparency of titanium implants through soft tissues, ceramic materials were tested. All-ceramic dental implants were introduced in dental implantology as an alternative to titanium implants. Another reason to find an alternative material to titanium was sensibilization, possible release of metallic ions, and allergy to this material, as reported in some studies [<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. Alumina was one of the first ceramic materials used but because of its hardness combined to a low flectural and fracture strength poor long-term results were achieved and this material was abandoned [<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. </p><p>More recently, research was oriented towards new generation ceramic materials such as zirconia, which has more favorable mechanical properties (high flexural strength 900–1200 Mpa, hardness 1200 Wickers, and Weibull modulus 10–12). In addition, zirconia has a high biocompatibility and low plaque adhesion [<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>, <xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>] and several animal studies showed long-term osseointegration of zirconia dental implants and a bone-to-implant contact similar to titanium [<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>–<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. Due to its favorable aesthetic characteristics, zirconia can be successfully used in case of thin biotypes or soft tissue recessions. </p><p>Moreover, studies [<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] demonstrate that perimplant soft tissues tend to recede after positioning a definitive prosthetic restoration. </p><p>The purposes of this study were to evaluate survival and success criteria of endosseous one-piece yttrium-stabilized zirconia dental implants during a follow-up period of 12–48 months after insertion, appreciate periimplant soft tissue health, and consider periimplant marginal bone remodeling.</p></sec><sec id="sec2"><title>2. Materials and Methods</title><sec id="sec2.1"><title>2.1. Implant System</title><p>In this study, WhiteSky dental implant (Bredent, Senden, Germany) was used. WhiteSky is a one-piece implant characterized by a conical body with double threads and rounded apex and is made of sintered and yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide. The endosseous implant surface is treated with a sandblasting process that determines microscopical surface characteristics of medium rugosity (<italic>R</italic><sub><italic>a</italic></sub> = 0.9-1 m) similar to those of last generation titanium implants, whereas in the gingival area the implant features a machined neck with a height of 2 mm. The abutment surface is also machined and has a length of 6.8 mm (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>).</p></sec><sec id="sec2.2"><title>2.2. Patients Selection</title><p>For this study, patients were selected according to the following criteria.</p><p>All implant sites should present adequate bone volume (height > 8 mm, thickness > 4 mm).</p><p>Absence of systemic contraindications (metabolic disorders, immunodeficiency, hemathological diseases, neoplastic diseases, bisphosphonates history, and smoking > 10 cigarettes/day) is evident.</p><p>Absence of local contraindications (head and neck radiotherapy, poor oral hygiene, active periodontal disease, and parafunctions) is evident.</p><p>Exclusion criteria were determined by the presence of one or more of the systemic or local contraindications plus patients aged <18 years, patients with total edentulism, patients with detected bruxism and regenerative procedures previous to implant insertion.</p><p>Starting from January 2007, and recruited in a period of one year, 13 patients were included in the study. The data were recorded to July 2012 when the implants had a minimal observation period of 4 years. </p><p>Average age was 60 years (range from 38 to 75). Twelve patients were men and one was woman. </p><p>35 one-piece endosseous dental implants made of sinterized and yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide were used for the rehabilitation of single tooth or partially edentulous ridge. </p><p>Three patients, with seven implants placed, were dropped out the protocol because they did not attend to followup. </p></sec><sec id="sec2.3"><title>2.3.

Surgical Protocol</title><p>All patients were previously informed about zirconia implants and possible alternatives and gave a written consent.</p><p>Implants were positioned according to the guide of a surgical mask obtained by a diagnostic wax-up. After reflecting a full thickness flap, implant site preparation was performed in order to leave implant abutments with machined neck to heal transmucosally, whereas implant body rough surface was left completely inside the bone. All implants were inserted using both a surgical motor and manually. In case of fenestrations or dehiscences, regenerative procedures by resorbable membranes (Bio-Gide, Geistlich Pharma, AG Wolhusen, Switzerland) and bone substitutes (Bio-Oss, Geistlich Pharma, AG Wolhusen, Switzerland) were performed. The implant stability was evaluated with the torque at insertion. Flaps were sutured with 4/0 monofilament suture (Premilene,Braun, Melsungen, Germany). When necessary, flaps were released through periosteal incisions in order to attain a primary wound closure. Patients were given oral hygiene suggestions and were instructed not to chew or eat on implant site until healing was completed. Antibiotic therapy and chlorhexidine mouth rinses were continued for 7 days and Paracetamol 500 mg (Tachipirina, Angelini, Roma, Italy) was prescribed and adopted by the patients when needed. Sutures were removed 7 days after surgery. Follow-up controls were programmed after 1 week, 2 weeks, and subsequently once a month for the following 6 months.</p></sec><sec id="sec2.5"><title>2.5. Prosthetic Protocol</title><p>Immediately after surgery, implant abutments were prepared in order to correct axis and length using double diamond burs suited for zirconia (Eterna,Bredent, Senden, Germany), and water cooling and temporary restorations were relined with acrylic resin. Single implants were cemented avoiding centric and eccentric contacts and stabilized to the adjacent teeth using composite wings for at least 6–8 weeks in order to reduce the risk of failure due to micromovements. Multiple implants were connected together by a provisional restoration and when possible excluded from occlusal contacs.</p><p>Six months after surgery, implants were finally restored by all ceramic zirconia crowns or bridges made with CAD-CAM system (LAVA, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN) and cemented with a glass ionomer cement (GC Fuji, CEM GC America, Alsip, IL).</p></sec><sec id="sec2.6"><title>2.6.

Rockwell, Chicago, IL) in order to evaluate probing pocket depth (PPD), plaque index (PI), and bleeding on probing (BOP) is evident.</p><p>Survival criteria were identified as the survival of loaded functionalized asymptomatic implants.</p><p>Success criteria were formulated according to the following parameters:<list list-type="order"><list-item><p> mobility is not present,</p></list-item><list-item><p> self-reported pain or paresthesia is not present,</p></list-item><list-item><p> periimplant radiolucency is not present,</p></list-item><list-item><p> periimplant marginal bone loss inferior to 1.5 mm during the first year in function and an annual bone loss thereafter are not exceeding 0.2 mm.</p></list-item></list></p></sec><sec id="sec2.7"><title>2.7. Radiographic Evaluation</title><p>According to this protocol, standardized periapical radiographs should be taken at the time of implant placement and 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, and 48 months after, using a customized bite record made with Orthogum (Zhermack, Badia Polesine, Rovigo, Italy) on a rinn XCO Ring positioner (Dentsply, Constanz, Germany) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>). Radiographs were acquired and converted into digital images with a scanner (Epson 1680 Pro, Seiko Epson Cooperation, Nagano, Japan) and saved in .JPG format. Each image was processed with a specific software (CorelDraw 10.0, Corel Corp and Coral Ltd, Ottawa, Canada) and analyzed at ×20 magnification in order to calculate marginal bone loss. Mesial and distal marginal bone levels of all the implants were determined at baseline and recall evaluations. The known length of the implant (measured from the implant shoulder to the implant apex) according to the manufacturer was used as reference point. The distance from implant shoulder to crestal bone level was measured on the magnified images (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>). To account for variability, the implant dimension (length) on the magnified X-ray was measured and compared to the real dimension, and ratios were calculated to adjust for distortion. Bone levels changes were calculated at the distal and mesial surfaces of all implants by applying the distortion coefficient. </p></sec><sec id="sec2.8"><title>2.8. Statistical Evaluation</title><p>Data analysis was performed with descriptive statistics. Mean and standard deviation values were recorded and the paired Student's <italic>t</italic>-test was used for comparison of mean values between groups (multiple-single implants; implants placed in maxilla or mandible; implants placed in esthetic or posterior regions of the jaws).

A minimal bone remodelling with a further marginal bone loss of −0.23 mm, 0.021 mm at 36 months, and 0.05 at 48-month followup was observed.

Discussion</title><p>Several studies in animal models showed successful osseointegration of zirconia dental implants under both unloaded and loaded conditions and bone-to-implant contact values similar to those of titanium. Scarano et al. [<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>] investigated the bone response to 20 YTZP implants inserted in the tibiae of five rabbits. According to the authors, all implants were osseointegrated without signs of inflammation or mobility. The mean BIC was calculated to be 68%. </p><p>Absence of signs of marginal bone loss around implants surface indicates maintained integration between the implant fixture and the surrounding bone. However, the finding of periimplant bone remodelling must be carefully considered because the marginal bone loss which may be detected around implants after beginning of function should be distinguished from the bone loss that is affected by one or more of the following factors: (1) traumatic surgical technique [<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>]; (2) excessive loading conditions [<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>]; (3) location, shape, and size of the implant abutment microgap and its microbial contamination [<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]; (4) biologic width and soft tissue considerations [<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]; (5) periimplant inflammatory infiltrate [<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]; (6) implant and prosthetic components micromovements [<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]; (7) repeated screwing and unscrewing [<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]; (8) implant-neck geometry [<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]; and (9) infectious process [<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>].</p><p>According to several studies investigating criteria for implant treatment success [<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>, <xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>], a marginal bone loss of 1.5 mm during the first year in function and an annual bone loss not exceeding 0.2 mm thereafter is considered acceptable. Brägger et al. [<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>] defined a radiographic criterion for implant success, a perimplant bone resorption below the limits of 0.9 to 1.6 mm during the first year in function. </p><p>The results of this study showed a mean marginal bone loss of 1.38 mm 6 months after implant insertion; 0.41 mm from 6 to 12 months, −0.23 mm from 12 to 24 months, 0.021 mm from 24 to 36 months; 0.05 mm from 36 to 48 months. The mean marginal bone loss at 48 months of followup was 1.631 mm.</p><p>In the study, it was observed that marginal bone loss in the first year is slightly greater for implants placed in the maxilla than for those placed in the mandible. These data could be explained by the fact that there are differences in the remodelling capacity and rate between maxillary and mandibular bone also due to the different bone quality and density in the different sites. </p><p>Periimplant bone level changes during the first year of loading were not more significant for implants placed in the first molar regions than for other areas. The variation from final prosthetic restoration up to 1 year of loading was 0.445 ± 0.87 mm for implant placed in the first molar region and 0.4 ± 0.7 mm for implants placed in other regions. After 4 years of function, the MBL change had increased, respectively, to 0.02 mm and 0.169 mm. </p><p>No differences in marginal bone level changes were observed between multiple and single implants since baseline to 4 years after surgery; the mean bone resorption values were 1.2081 mm for multiple implants and 1.2088 mm for single implants.</p><p>Greater bone loss occurs during the first year of function, and it is related to maturation of bone after the surgery and adaption of bone to withstand functional forces. In this study, the values of marginal bone loss were within the limits of 0.9 to 1.6 mm, considered to be acceptable for the first year of loading. From 12 to 24 months after implant positioning, an improvement of MBL values was observed probably due to the formation of new bone trabeculae as a result of maturation of bone. After the second year of functioning, the annual amount of bone loss was <0.2 mm. </p><p>A large number of studies evaluated the causes of early marginal bone loss around implants. Abrahamsson and Berglundh [<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>] considered the effects of different implant surfaces on marginal bone levels alteration and did not observe any evidence of improved marginal bone preservation for any particular implant surface and configuration modification. </p><p>However, one-piece morphology of zirconia dental implants can influence marginal bone loss. In fact, it has been proposed that periimplant marginal bone loss is more extended around two-piece implants than around one-piece implants as a result of the location of the microgap [<xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>, <xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>]. The presence of the microgap leads to bacterial leakage and a microbial colonization of the gap at the bone level. Periimplant soft tissues develop an inflammatory response which promotes osteoclast formation and activation to result in alveolar bone loss. Bone remodeling will progress until the biologic width has been created and stabilized. Not only does this width progress apically, along the vertical axis, but according to studies conducted by Tarnow et al. [<xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>] there is also a horizontal component amounting to 1–1.5 mm.</p><p>Furthermore, it is important to consider that plaque accumulation on implant or abutment surface induces a gingival inflammatory reaction [<xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>] and consequently a progressive bone loss [<xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. In particular, roughness plays an important role in the bacterial adhesion and this relationship has been demonstrated in several in vivo and in vitro studies [<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>, <xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Scarano et al. [<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>] showed that zirconium oxide presented a significant reduction of the presence of bacteria, and Rimondini et al. [<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>] found that yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia surfaces accumulated significantly fewer bacteria than titanium. </p><p>The reduced bacterial adhesion on zirconia implants surface promotes early formation of the biologic width and therefore the formation of a mucosal seal that stops early marginal bone resorption [<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>–<xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="sec5"><title>5.
