Abstract:
Objective To explore the differences of the aesthetic effect between Xive and Ankylos implants.
Methods Patients received treatment for single tooth restoration in aesthetic region were selected and divided into two groups by Xive and Ankylos implant: Xive group (n= 30) and Ankylos group (n= 30) . All patients were observed at 6, 12, 24 months after secondary surgery, aesthetic effect (the pink esthetic score and white esthetic score, PES/WES) were assessed. The success rate of implants at 24 months after secondary surgery were recorded.
Results (1) The success rate of implants: Xive group and Ankylos group were all 100%, there was no statistical difference (χ2= 0, P > 0.05) . (2) Aesthetic effects: the score of PES in Xive group is higher than that in Ankylos group 6 months after secondary surgery, the difference shows statistical significance (t= 4.86, t= 0.21, P < 0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups for the score of PES at 12 months after secondary surgery (t= 0.21, P > 0.05) . The score of PES in Ankylos group is apparently higher than that in Xive group 24 months after secondary surgery, the difference shows statistical significance (t= 3.03, P < 0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups for the score of WES at 6 and 12 months after secondary surgery (t= 0.12/0.15, all P > 0.05) . The score of WES in Ankylos group is apparently higher than that in Xive group24 months after secondary surgery, the difference shows statistical significance (t= 2.06, P < 0.05) .
Conclusions High success rate and satisfactory esthetic results could be achieved by GBR with simultaneous placement of Xive or Ankylos implants. However, the classification of bone defects and complexity of GBR were not taken into account in the present study, further researches should be conducted to compare the esthetic results of these two implants with GBR technique in anterior region.
