RESULTS
A total of 20 participants with 20 implant-supported single crowns completed the 1-year follow-up.
All implants were successful. The narrow diameter implants had a higher bone remodeling of 0.39 ± 0.92 mm after 1 year of loading compared with only 0.10 ± 0.29 mm for the standard diameter implants but the difference was not statistically significant (P = .40).
There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 implant groups in terms of PES and peri-implant outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS
Narrow and standard-diameter TiZr implants supporting screw-retained monolithic zirconia crowns in the posterior region were reliable treatment modalities with comparable clinical, radiographic and patient reported outcomes after 1 year of function. Patient satisfaction was high in both treatment groups.
