The long-term efficacy of currently used dental implants: a review and proposed criteria of success.

Abstract

Criteria for the evaluation of dental implant success are proposed. These criteria are applied in an assessment of the long-term efficacy of currently used dental implants including the subperiosteal implant, the vitreous carbon implant, the blade-vent implant, the single-crystal sapphire implant, the Tubingen implant, the TCP-implant, the TPS-screw, the ITI hollow-cylinder implant, the IMZ dental implant, the Core-Vent titanium alloy implant, the transosteal mandibular staple bone plate, and the Branemark osseointegrated titanium implant. An attempt has been made to standardize the basis for comments on each type of implant.
