摘要

Purpose

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of dental implants with a triangular neck, focusing on 1-year marginal bone loss (MBL) and implant survival rate.

Methods

This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive search of databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) was completed on June 8, 2025. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), retrospective and prospective studies, and case series that studied ≥ 10 implants, reporting on triangular-neck implants, were included. The Cochrane risk of bias 2 tool was used for RCTs, and the Joanna Briggs Institute case series checklist was used for nonrandomized studies. The results were summarized using a random-effects meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis was performed to assess robustness. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) method was used to determine the certainty of evidence.

Results

The search provided 115 titles after removal of duplicates. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria, five of which provided sufficient data for quantitative synthesis. The pooled analysis demonstrated a 1-year mean MBL of 0.35 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.24–0.46; heterogeneity; I2 = 23.2%; p = 0.25) and an implant survival rate of 97.8% (95% CI: 95.4%–99.4%; I2 = 0.0%; p = 0.96).

Conclusions

Available single-arm evidence indicates that triangular-neck implants were associated with high implant survival rates and limited marginal bone level changes during the first year of follow-up. However, the current evidence does not permit conclusions regarding comparative clinical benefits relative to other implant designs.
