(Based on Etiology)
Surgical Complications:Non Host Factors
• Operator related• Experience• Surgical technique• Surgical protocol
• Biomaterial related• Biocompatibility• Implant surface• Implant shape
Biocompatibility
• Ti, Ti6Al4V, Al2O3 and HA are highly biocompatible and corrosion resistant
• Steinemann 1980, Williams 1981• Breme & Scmid 1990, Johansson, Larsson 1997
• Ti and Ti6Al4V show same bone response• Johansson et al., J Mat Sci: Mater Med 1993
Surgical Complications:Non Host Factors
• Operator related• Experience• Surgical technique• Surgical protocol
• Biomaterial related• Biocompatibility
• Implant surface• Implant shape
Rough (vs Machined) Surface Implants(covered previously)
• Increased late failure with HA / TPS• Decreased failure in smokers• Decreased failure with short implants • Decreased failure in sinus grafts• Decreased failure if initially not stable• Decreased failure with replacement implants• Decreased failure with early / immediate load
Implant Surface : Rough vs Smooth:Hypothesis
• Rough surfaced implants are more likely to display “late” failure due to recurrent marginalinfection
• Rough surfaced implants are less likely to fail in reduced bone quality and quantity
Rough Implant Surface (vs Smooth):• Accelerated cell attachment and calcification
• Bowers et al, JOMI 1992• Johansson & Albrektsson, JOMI 1987
• Increased bone-to-implant apposition• Numerous animal and human studies
• Increased interfacial strength• Numerous animal and human studies
• Increased bone graft-to-implant apposition• Trisi et al, Int J Perio & Rest Dent, 2003
Rough vs Smooth:Clinical Predictability?
• Comparative clinical studies are few
• Short history of “new” surfaces• MTX, Osseotite, SLA, SLActive,• Osseospeed, TiUnite, Nanotite
• Recent trend: treated surface “to the top”
WARNING!Those who don’t know their history are
destined to repeat it!
“Smooth” Machined Titanium Implants Achieved a Steady State
• Titanium machined implants: (up to 18 years)• Total # implants 1,376
• Failure rate 6.11%
• Early failure rate 5.1%
• *Late failure rate 1.01%
• Titanium machined implants : (up to 28 years)
• > 2500 implants failure rate 5%

“Newer” Implant Surfaces:
• “Osseo Speed” by Astra Tech• The first fluoride modified surface• Studies prove more bone growth in less time
• “SLActive” by Straumann• Same topography but different surface chemistry vs SLA• Submerged in an isotonic sodium chloride solution• *Significantly greater mean bone-implant contact vs SLA• *Conclusion: SLActive could offer a reduction in healing time
• “Nanotite” by 3i• Solution based deposit of CaP crystals occupying 50% surface• Slow dissolution, increase in microcomplexity & 200% area• Not a plasma spray coating e.g. 2,000 vs 20,000 micrograms CaP• **Significantly > bone contact, bone thread apposition vs Osseotite

Tapered Implants:Advantages
• Avoid anatomic limitations • sinus, undercuts, converging roots
• Optimize stability in poor bone
• Conducive for immediate placement• Optimize initial stability
• Less risk of apical perforation
• Optimize prosthetic table
• Minimize peri-implant void
• Reduce grafting and/or membranes

Summary:(Based on Etiology)
Summary: Biomaterials
• Rough Surface Implants may exhibit:• Smaller “jumping gap” re: defect fill• Higher early survival rates vs “turned” titanium• Higher early survival in poor quality/quantity bone• Higher early survival if initially mobile• Increased late failure e.g. “older” HA and TPS• Newer “rough” surfaces may not exhibit late failure rates e.g. treated
titanium (Ti Unite, SLA, MTX, Osseotite) and “newer” HA
• Smooth Surface Implants (turned titanium) exhibited:• Generally higher early failure rates vs rough surfaced implants• Failure rates more pronounced if mobile at initial placement• “Steady State” after 1 year, less than *1% late failure (*Arlin)
Summary: Biomaterials-Implant Shape
• Fracture:• Narrow internal connection may be susceptible
• Narrow diameter:• straight walled, similar survival to standard diameter
• Wide diameter:• May be associated with more bone loss,failure,recession
• Short Iength:• > Failures with “smooth” surfaces and poor bone quality• Comparable survival rates with good quality bone
• Tapered walls:• May increase stability in poor quality bone
