Fifty-seven
patients were followed for 2 years and 34 patients for
3 years in a study of the CeraONe system. One implant
was lost, resulting in a accumulative success rate of
97.3% at the 3-year examination. All ceramic crowns were
seated for 95% of the subjects, and only four of the crowns
were classified as failures. Two all-ceramic crowns fractured
following trauma, but no crown was fractured when exposed
to common bite forces. The bone loss around implants and
adjacent teeth was small, and few problems were observed.
It was proven that the system achieves good esthetic results
and avoids the complications of screw loosening and fistula
formation. (Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 1995;10:702-711)
