Patients in a private practice were recruited for placement of 3i T3 tapered implants in single, multiple, and full-arch applications in the mandible and maxilla, in both fresh extraction and healed placement sites. Ninety patients were treated, and 240 implants were placed and immediately loaded: 124 in the maxilla and 116 in the mandible. One hundred twelve definitive prostheses were delivered between 4 and 6 months after implant placement. Over the course of 2 to 12 months of follow-up (mean: 4.8 months), five implants failed in the maxilla and no implants failed in the mandible, a survival rate of 96% for the maxilla and 100% for the mandible. The cumulative survival rate was 98%.
