EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMMEDIATE LOADING IMPLANTS WITH OVERDENTURE USING ANKYLOS SYNCONE TELESCOPIC COPINGS FOR THE TREATMENT OF EDENTULOUS MANDIBLES
Objective: Implant – supported overdentures have been an effective method for the treatment of edentulous mandibles. However, the loading time after implant placement is still controversial. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of immediate loading implantswith mandibular overdenture using Ankylos Syncone telescopic copings for the treatment of edentulous. Materials and methods: This study was performed on 22 edentulous mandibular patients visiting Department of High Technique, National Hospital of Odonto – Stomatology at Ho Chi Minh city. Each patient received four interforaminal implants. Ankylos Syncone copings systems was used to connect prostheses and implant, which then received immediate loading. The primary response variables were success and failure rate of implants and prostheses. The peri-implant tissue condition and peri-implant crestal bone loss level on radiography were evaluated at six months (T6) and twelve months (T12) postsurgery. Results: There is no peri-implantitis at the follow-up points. The osseointegration rate after 12 months was 100%, while the success rate and survival rate of protheses were 91% and 100% respectively. The peri-implant crestal bone loss on radiography images from baseline (T0) to T6 was 0.07 (±0.22) mm and from T0 to T12 was 0.12 (±0.29) mm. Conclusion: Mandibular rehabilitation usingimmediate loading implant mandibular overdenture with Ankylos Syncone telescopic has shown a high success rate and patient sastisfation over time.
