Abstract

Background:  The survival rate of dental implants is depending upon many factors. This was done to evaluate the implant related factors on its success rate.  Materials & Methods: This study includes 186 dentals placed in 128 healthy patients in last 10 years. Information regarding implant factors such as implant diameter, length of implant, surrounding bone quality was collected from patient’s case file. Results: Out of 128 patients, males were 69 with 107 dental implants and females were 59 with 79 dental implants. Age group <40 years had 101 dental implants of which 6 had failure, 41-60 years had 49 dental implants, of which 5 showed failure and >60 years had 37 dental implants, of which 9 had failure. Dental implant with diameters less than 3.75 mm had maximum failure. There was higher implant failure was observed with <10mm (10) followed by with diameter 10-11.5 mm. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Type III bone showed 25% of dental implant failure followed by type IV bone 15.3%. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The success rate of dental implants depends on length and diameter of implant, bone quality, region of implant placement etc. Maximum implant failures were seen in patients above 60 years of age, with implant diameter < 3.75 mm and implant placed in type III bone.
