Predictive Factors of Dental Implant Failure: A Retrospective Study Using Decision Tree Regression.

Introduction: Dental implants are routinely used to replace missing teeth. Therefore, the primary aim of the present study was to assess the single-unit implant failure rate over a period of seven years from 2015 to 2021, with a minimum of two years post-implant follow-up. The secondary aim was to identify the risk factors associated with implant failure using machine learning decision tree regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses.

Prognostic Implication of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in Osseointegration of Dental Implants: A 5-year Retrospective Study.

Aim: Dental implants are the preferred treatment modality in the present edentulous era. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have detrimental effect on bone density. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of SSRIs on the success rate of dental implants.
