Objective: This meta-analysis aims to investigate the long-term survival rates of dental implants over a 20-year period, providing a practical guide for clinicians while identifying potential areas for future research.
Materials And Methods: Data were sourced from recent publications, focusing exclusively on screw-shaped titanium implants with a rough surface. Both retrospective and prospective studies were included to ensure an adequate sample size. A systematic electronic literature search was conducted in the databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane, and Web of Science. The risk of bias for all studies was analyzed using a tool by Hoy et al. RESULTS: Three prospective studies (n = 237 implants) revealed a mean implant survival rate of 92% (95% CI: 82% to 97%), decreasing to 78% (95% CI: 74%-82%) after imputation (n = 422 implants). A total of five retrospective studies (n = 1440 implants) showed a survival rate of 88% (95% CI: 78%-94%). Implant failure causes were multifactorial.
Conclusion: This review consolidates 20-year dental implant survival data, reflecting a remarkable 4 out of 5 implants success rate. It emphasizes the need for long-term follow-up care, addressing multifactorial implant failure. Prioritizing quality standards is crucial to prevent overestimating treatment effectiveness due to potential statistical errors. While dental implantology boasts reliable therapies, there is still room for improvement, and additional high-quality studies are needed, particularly to evaluate implant success.
Clinical Relevance: Never before have the implant survival over 20 years been systematically analyzed in a meta-analysis. Although a long-term survival can be expected, follow-up is essential and shouldn't end after insertion or even after 10 years.

Background/purpose: Dental implants can restore both function and aesthetics in edentulous areas. However, the absence of cushioning mechanical behavior in implants may limit their clinical performance and reduce the long-term survival rates. This study aimed to establish an implant cushion mechanism that mimicked the natural periodontal ligament, utilizing the properties of composite hydrogels.

Background: Effective management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is crucial for preventing adverse events. Traditional prognostic tools, such as rule-based methods or Cox regression, despite their widespread use and ease, tend to yield moderate predictive accuracy within predetermined timeframes. This study introduces a new contrastive learning-based approach to enhance prediction efficacy over multiple time intervals.

Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is typically diagnosed following an arrhythmic event or during screening after a family member experiences sudden cardiac death. Implantation of a defibrillator (ICD) improves survival but can be associated with morbidity and risks, an important consideration within a shared decision-making context. This study examined patient decisional needs and preferences surrounding ARVC screening and prophylactic ICD implantation.

Sudden cardiac death is a leading cause of mortality in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The PRecIsion Medicine in CardiomYopathy consortium developed a validated tool (PRIMaCY) for sudden cardiac death risk prediction to help with implantable cardioverter defibrillator shared decision-making, as recommended by clinical practice guidelines. The mplemeting a udden Cardiac Dath isk Assessment ool in hildhood (INSERT-HCM) study aims to implement PRIMaCY into electronic health records (EHRs) and assess implementation determinants and outcomes.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with poor outcomes after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We report on six high-risk end-stage liver disease (ESLD) patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bare metal stents during the preoperative evaluation process. There was no mortality or major adverse cardiac event (MACE) within 90 days of OLT.
