Titanium–zirconium alloy narrow‐diameter implants (Straumann Roxolid®) for the rehabilitation of horizontally deficient edentulous ridges: prospective study on 18 consecutive patients

Narrow diameter implants fabricated with the new titanium-zirconium alloy were demonstrated to be reliable in supporting both fixed and removable prosthetic rehabilitations in horizontally deficient ridges. Implant survival, peri-implant bone resorption, and prosthetic complication rates were consistent with those reported in the literature for standard diameter implants placed in non-deficient edentulous ridges.
