ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the impact of titanium base supported single implant restorations on peri-implant conditions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs), comprising a total of 274 implants that met the inclusion criteria, were chosen for data analysis. A random effects model was employed for the metaanalysis.
RESULTS: Data from this study revealed that the Ti-base group exhibited a slightly but statistically significant increase in peri-implant marginal bone loss (difference in means = 0.088, 95% confidence interval = 0.003 to 0.17, p = 0.041) compared to the one-piece-abutment group. These effects were consistent in the subgroup analysis of regular-threaded implants comparing to the microthreaded subgroup. However, no significant differences were observed between the Ti-base group and the abutment group concerning probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and the risk of prosthetic-related complications.
CONCLUSIONS: The utilization of Ti-base in single-implant supported restoration is associated with a slight increase in peri-implant marginal bone loss, while other periimplant health parameters show no significant correlation. Therefore, to determine the impact of Tibase on peri-implant condition of single implant-supported restoration is insufficient based on the findings of this meta-analysis.
