Immediately loaded implant-supported full-arches: Peri-implant status after 1 –9years in a private practice

Conclusions Immediately-loaded full-arch restorations have an acceptable outcome after 1–9years of follow-up. However, the incidence of peri-implant diseases is high, and further research is needed to confirm whether these may compromise the predictability of the prostheses over the long-term. Clinical significance After a mean follow-up of 50months, the incidence of mucositis and peri-implantitis affected the 96.4% and 50% of patients, respectively. However, these results were reduced almost by half when the threshold of bleeding on probing and peri-implant bone loss applied was less strict.
