The document summarizes findings from 10 randomized controlled trials comparing different dental implant systems. The trials evaluated outcomes like failure rates, marginal bone loss, and peri-implant soft tissue health. Meta-analyses found no significant differences between systems in failures or bone loss over time, including between surface types. Subsequent follow-ups of initial trials continued finding no significant differences in long-term outcomes between major implant systems.

Longitudinal Studies of Various Dental Implant Systems Dental Implant Fellowship Program (DIFP) Fellow’s Topic Presentation
Dental Implant Designs Endosseous Subperiosteal Transosteal
Endosseous Dental Implants In 1970 studies with 10 years clinical results presented by a research group in Sweden directed by Dr Per-Ingvar Branemark. Their studies demonstrated that pure titanium integrates with bone tissue if it is carefully prepared surgically.
Scientific Literature Systematic searched of various electronic databases (Medline, Embase, Google scholar, Central and the Cochrane Oral Health Group specialist register) to identify randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT’s) Comparing different dental implant systems.
Scientific Literature 10 randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT’s) were identified. Geertman et al J Prosthet Dent 1996. Multicenter randomized clinical trial (88 patients), comparing the effect of overdentures on different implant systems ” transmandibular implant (TMI), the IMZ (IMZ), and the Brånemark system” in patients with severely resorbed mandibles 1 year after the insertion of new dentures. Evaluation included peri-implant soft tissue and radiographic parameters . The results revealed no significant differences between the three implant systems.
Scientific Literature 2. Boerrigter et al Oral RehabiI1997 Controlled clinical trial (60 patients), comparing the effect of mandibular overdentures on two different implant systems “Brånemark system and the IMZ-system” in edentulous patients were compared one year after insertion of the new dentures. Evaluation included peri-implant and radiographical parameters . During the osseointegration period, five Brånemark and one IMZ-implants were lost. The results were less favorable for the Brånemark group than for the IMZ-group; however, these differences were not significant .
Scientific Literature Jones et al OralSurg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 1997 Prospective clinical trial “Sixty-five subjects” comparing titanium plasma-sprayed versus hydroxyapatite-coated titanium plasma-sprayed cylinder (press fit) implants in different regions of the mouth “anterior maxilla, posterior maxilla, anterior mandible, and posterior mandible”. Patients were assigned to either titanium plasma-sprayed or hydroxyapatite-coated implants on the day of surgery.There were a total of 15 failures (4.26%). Overall, titanium plasma-sprayed implants showed a higher but not significant failure rate compared with hydroxyapatite-coated implants (p = 0.06). Hydroxyapatite-coating of an implant allows superior initial integration when compared with a titanium plasma-sprayed surface .
Scientific Literature Batenburg et al Clin Oral Implants Res 1998 prospective randomized comparative study “90 patients” to evaluate the condition of the peri-implant tissues of three different implant systems “30 patients were treated with 2 Brånemark implants, 30 patients with 2 IMZ implants and 30 patients with 2 ITI implants” supporting a mandibular overdenture. A standardized clinical and radiographic evaluation was performed 6 and 12 months after insertion of the denture . The pocket depth in the Brånemark group decreased significantly whereas the mucosa recession increased significantly in both the Brånemark as well as in the IMZ group. After 12 months, there was significantly less bone loss in the ITI group. The ITI implant appears to be the implant of choice for mandibular overdenture therapy, because only one operation is required for a comparable result.
Scientific Literature Karlsson et al Oral Implants Res 1998 In 50 partially edentulous patients, 133 (48 maxillary; 85 mandibular) Astra Tech dental implants of 2 different surface textures (machined; TiO-blasted) were alternately installed, supporting 52 fixed partial dentures (FPDs). the cumulative survival rates were 97.7% and 95.7% for implants and prostheses, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in survival rate between the 2 types of implants, 100% (TiO-blasted) vs 95.3% (machined). After 2 years in function, when both jaw and type of implants were combined, the mean marginal bone loss was 0.24 (0.69) mm. No statistically significant difference in bone loss was found between the 2 types of implant after 2 years of loading.
Scientific Literature Astrand et al Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 1999 Prospective randomized study comparing two implant systems (Astra Tech and Brånemark System implants). Sixty-six patients were equally distributed between the two implant systems; 184 Astra Tech and 187 Brånemark System implants were used. Result: The abutment procedure was found to be easier and less time-consuming with Astra Tech than with Brånemark implants. The failure rate for Astra Tech implants was 0.5% and for Brånemark implants 4.3%. the difference was significant. The total bone loss during the observation period did not differ significantly between the systems The survival rate of Astra Tech implants was higher than that of Brånemark system implants.
Scientific Literature Tawse-Smith et al Implant Dent Relat Res 2001 Randomized clinical trial “24 edentulous subjects” to examine the feasibility and success of using two different dental implant systems “machined titanium implant surface (Steri-Oss, Nobel Biocare, Göteborg, Sweden) and a roughened titanium surface (Southern Implants, Ltd., Irene, South Africa)” using a one-stage operative procedure in patients being rehabilitated with implant mandibular overdentures. Result show a successful application of this one-stage approach for unsplinted implants supporting mandibular overdentures with Steri-Oss and Southern Implant Systems.
Scientific Literature Geurs et al lnt J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2002 Multicenter trial, 120 healthy edentulous patients received 5 or 6 implants in the anterior mandible and were followed for 3 years. A total of 634 implants were placed ” threaded titanium plasma-sprayed (TPS), threaded hydroxyapatite-coated (HA), and cylindric HA-coated”. Each type of implant were placed and that they were uniformly distributed over the arch. Result show that HA-coated implants exhibit a more rapid decrease in micromobility than do TPS implants of identical geometry.
Scientific Literature Mau J et al Clin Oral Implants Res 2002 In a randomized multicenter clinical trial comparing intramobile cylinder (IMZ) implants with either of two coatings, hydroxyapatite (HA) or titanium plasma-flame (TPF), as distal abutments for combined tooth implant-supported restorations, were compared in 313 partially edentulous mandibles. Result show no relevant statistically significant difference between the two coatings.
Scientific Literature Tawse-Smith et al Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2002 Randomized clinical trial “Forty-eight edentulous participants” to compare the success rates of two different dental implant systems “machined titanium implant surface (Sterioss, Nobel Biocare, Yorba Linda, California, USA) and a roughened titanium surface (Southern Implants, Irene, South Africa)” following conventional or early loading protocols in patients being rehabilitated with mandibular overdentures. Result show no statistically significant difference in the success rates of the two systems .

Scientific Literature 3 out of 11 follow up publications included. . 1. Meijer et al J Clin Periodontol 2004 prospective comparative study was to evaluate the survival rate and the condition of the peri-implant tissues of the IMZ implant system (two-stage cylindertype), the Brånemark implant system (two-stage screwtype) and the ITI implant system (one-stage screwtype) supporting a mandibular overdenture during a 5-year follow-up period. After 5 years no clinically relevant and statistically significant radiographic changes had developed between the three implant systems.

Conclusions high success rates can be achieved for all implant systems analyzed after 5 years of loading. There is no strong evidence supporting the superiority of some implant systems over others. These conclusions are based on a few RCTs, evaluating few implant systems in few patients; therefore, the possibility that clinical differences exist cannot be excluded.
Thank you
