AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and microbiological status of implants after 10 years of functional load in @entity1 treated for partial @entity5386 . METHOD: 15 @entity1 , each successfully treated with 2-6 implants ad modum Br  nemark placed in free-standing fixed prostheses, were included in the study. RESULTS: Clinical evaluation revealed similar degrees of @entity32 around teeth and implants. The @entity5951 ( @entity5951 ) was significantly greater around implants than around teeth. The mean marginal @entity604 during 10 years of functional load was comparable to that found at the time of the 5-year follow-up. 74% of the implants remained free of marginal @entity604 exceeding 1 mm. Marginal @entity604 exceeding 2 mm, was found at only 5 sites. No marked differences in bacteria were present between teeth and implants. @entity14148 , @entity2126 and P. micros were the commonest organisms detected around teeth and implants. The periodontal pathogens A. actinomycetemcomitans, @entity2523 , @entity3288 , @entity3289 , and @entity14148 , were found at implants with a marginal @entity604 of more than 2 mm. CONCLUSION: Our study shows that the long-term results with implants in partially dentate @entity1 are similar to those seen in edentulous @entity1 and that no significant change occurred after 5-year follow-up over an additional period of 5 years.
