Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the implant survival, the implant crown success, and the prosthetic complications of 2,549 Morse taper interference-fit connection implants. Methods: A total of 2,549 Morse taper connection implants were inserted in 893 patients from January 2003 until December 2008. At each annual recall, clinical, radiographic, and prosthetic parameters were assessed. The implant crown success criteria included the absence of pain, suppuration, and clinical mobility; an average distance between the implant shoulder and the first visible bone contact
