---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lorean et al. [1] |
68 - IANL 11 - IANT |
232 | 1 | 99.57% | Not mentioned | One implant loss was observed during follow-up period (average 20.62 months). |
Morrison et al. [2] |
20 - IANT | 30 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | All 30 implants had successfully integrated. No evidence of infections, wound dehiscences, fractures or other serious complications. |
Kan et al. [3] |
10 - IANL 5 - IANT |
64 | 4 | 93.8% | Not mentioned | Four of 64 implants had been removed. Two implants were lost due to infection after the patient had sustained a mandibular fracture. Two other implants were lost due to non-integration. |
Peleg et al. [4] | 10 - IANL | 23 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | All implants were clinically osseointegrated. |
Khajehahmadi et al. [5] |
28 - IANT | 65 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | All implants survived and were subject to prosthodontic treatments. No evident of failure with at least 1 year of follow-up. |
Dal Ponte et al. [13] |
1 - IANT | 2 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | On 2 and 7 years follow-up panoramic X-rays visible good osseointegration of implants without abnormality. |
Vasconcelos et al. [14] |
1 - IANT | 2 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | Seven months after surgical procedure revealed excellent results. |
Suzuki et al. [15] | 1 - IANL | 2 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | In the postoperative period of 6 months, satisfactory results have been shown as regards to soft and hard tissues wound healing and temporary prosthetic rehabilitation. |
Chrcanovic et al. [16] |
18 - IANT | 25 | 3 | 88% | Panoramic X-ray | Three implants did not integrate. |
Proussaefs [17] | 1 - IANT | 2 | 0 | 100% | Perio-Test Unit | The implants appeared clinically osseointegrated. Three years post-loading revealed no clinical signs of pathosis (i.e., mobility, probing depth < 3 mm, pain, BOP) |
Ferrigno et al. [18] | 19 - IANT | 46 | 2 | 95.7% | Clinic and radiographic examination | Two implants were lost (early failure). One implant was lost due to non-integration. Another implant was lost due to a mandibular fracture. |
Kan et al. [19] | 1 - IANT | 3 | 2 | 33.33% | Panoramic X-ray | Three weeks after implants placement the patient experienced a spontaneous right mandibular fracture involving two anterior implants, which were finally removed. |
Karlis et al. [20] | 1 - IANT | 2 | 2 | 0% | Panoramic X-ray | Panoramic X-ray revealed an area of radiolucency around the most posterior right implant with a non-displaced linear fracture through the inferior mandibular border. Finally, both implants were removed. |
Proussaefs [21] | 1 - IANT | 5 | 0 | 100% | Perio-Test Unit | Implants appeared clinically osseointegrated 6 months after implant placement (tested with Perio-Test, Siemens, Bensheim, Germany). Implants were restored with cement-retained PFM restorations. Three years post loading X-ray examination revealed minimal marginal bone loss (< 1 mm). |
Barbu et al. [24] | 11 - IANL | 32 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | No implant loss was observed during the follow-up. |
Del Castillo Pardo et al. [26] |
1 - IANL | 3 | 0 | 100% | Panoramic X-ray | Six months after implants placement, no complications were observed. |
IANL = inferior alveolar nerve lateralization; IANT = inferior alveolar nerve transposition. |
