Twelve‐Year Retrospective Follow‐Up of Machined Implants in the Posterior Maxilla: Radiographic and Peri‐Implant Outcome

Abstract

This follow-up demonstrates a very good prognosis when implants with machined surfaces are used. The frequencies of implant failures were very small. Within the limits of the results from this study, the risk of peri-implantitis in the posterior maxilla might be considered a minor problem when implants with machined surfaces are used.
