The purpose of the series of cases presented is to describe, for the first time, the clinical and radiological results after two years of immediate setting of 50 implants with a new sandblasted and acid-etched surface implant system and cone Morse connection.
During the observation period which averaged two years, none of the implants presented failures or acute or peri-implant infections. All implants had a sufficient amount of keratinised peri-implant soft tissue, reduced probing depths (2.25 mm on average) and good BOP (34%). After about two years of use, peri-implant bone level was stable and with an average bone loss of 0.83 mm.
With an average observation period of two years, the implant considered with immediate setting on the bone, rough surface and conical connection was shown to preserve the health status of the soft and hard peri-implant tissues. The parameters analysed are the same or better than comparable studies in the international literature.
