A new endosseous dental implant system incorporating a porous-surface geometry with a tapered, truncated-cone shape was placed bilaterally in edentulous areas of dog mandibles in a two-stage procedure. All implants had been stabilized by bone ingrowth by the time of the second procedure (insertion of a transgingival collar and implant-supported bridge). The transgingival collar had a porous-surface geometry on its apical one-third, and was meant to encourage gingival connective tissue ingrowth and attachment, but in fact provided an excellent milieu for bacterial contamination. As a consequence, many of the implants showed clinical and radiographic signs of impending failure by eight months. Only those implants for which the porous coat, including that of the transgingival collar, was completely submerged in bone were observed to be successful. This study reports on the radiographic and clinical assessment of this implant system in dogs during the period of function.
