- Abstract
- Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine clinical outcome, esthetic appearance and patient satisfaction for immediately loaded single implants. Material and Methods: 15 single Co-Axis implants (Southern Implants, Irene, South Africa) were placed in 14 patients in the pre-maxilla and immediately loaded with a screw-retained full ceramic crown. Peri-apical radiographs and standardized photographs were taken to determine bone loss and soft tissue changes. Plaque and bleeding levels were assessed. Patients’ satisfaction was measured using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Results: After 1 year, all implants survived and mean bone loss was 1.20 mm. Plaque levels were low and no significant changes were observed. Bleeding levels decreased during the initial 3 months, but were constant thereafter. Patients reported an overall increase in well-being. A mid-facial recession of 0.37 mm was observed. The mesial papilla showed a slight increase of 0.14 mm, while the distal papilla decreased 0.35 mm. Conclusion: With a 100% survival and stable bone levels after 6 months, the Co-Axis implant showed a good clinical outcome when immediately loaded. The use of a full ceramic crown as a first and final restoration resulted in a good aesthetic outcome with few changes soft tissue level.
