A 10-year Retrospective Clinical Study to Identify Risk Indicators for Peri-Implant Bone Loss and Implant Failure.

Clin Oral Implants Res

October 2024

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Dental Medicine, Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.

Aim: To evaluate long-term survival and success of dental implants and evaluate indicators affecting the long-term outcome.

Materials And Methods: Implant survival, success and crestal bone loss (BL) over time were evaluated. For covariates at patient level, Kaplan-Meier estimates of implant survival were compared between groups with the log-rank test.

Early peri-implant bone loss as a predictor for peri-implantitis: A 10-year prospective cohort study.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res

June 2021

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Dental Medicine, Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of early bone loss (EBL), on long-term bone stability and future peri-implantitis development.

Materials And Methods: Patients referred for implant placement between 2005 and 2009 were consecutively treated and followed for 10 years. After 10 years, patients were invited for a scientific diagnostic visit to evaluate implant survival and bone loss.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the survival and peri-implant bone loss of implants with a fluoride-modified surface in smokers and non-smokers.

Material And Methods: All patients referred for implant treatment between November 2004 and 2007 were scrutinized. All implants were placed by the same surgeon (B.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to explore how the structure of trabecular bone before surgery affects the success of dental implants, using CBCT scans to analyze bone patterns.
  • Researchers compared 20 cases of early implant failure with 20 successful implant cases, finding significant links between bone density types and implant outcomes.
  • Results indicated that sparse trabecular bone increased the risk of early implant failure, while intermediate bone density correlated with greater implant stability.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 10-year outcome of 25 patients with immediate loading in the edentulous mandible.

Material And Methods: Twenty-five patients were consecutively treated with 5 immediately loaded fluoride-modified implants in the edentulous mandible. Implant survival and bone loss were evaluated by an external researcher comparing digital periapical radiographs taken during recall visits with baseline (at implant insertion).

A 9-Year Prospective Case Series Using Multivariate Analyses to Identify Predictors of Early and Late Peri-Implant Bone Loss.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res

February 2016

Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Dental Medicine, Department of Periodontology & Oral Implantology, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.

Purpose: The study aims to identify predictors of early and late peri-implant bone loss following complete implant-supported rehabilitation using multivariate analyses.

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients (28 women, 22 men; mean age 58, range 35-76) in need of a complete implant-supported rehabilitation on five to eight implants were consecutively treated. Patients were reinvited for a clinical and radiographic examination after an average 9 years of function.

Introduction: Immediate functional loading of dental implants for full-arch restoration is a patient-friendly approach, shown to be feasible with a good long-term prognosis in a completely edentulous mandible. For the complete restoration of the maxilla, acceptable long-term clinical follow-up is lacking or based on case reports rather than on prospective studies.

Objectives: This prospective mono-centre study reports the 3-year outcome of immediately functionally loaded Astra Tech Dental implants in completely edentulous maxillae based on clinical survival and success based on radiographical assessment of bone level.
