Aims: To evaluate upper and lower limits of the parameters used such as (age, sex, or selection of patient), and to detect the grade of understanding and acceptance of Iraqi publics for the implant surgery (education level). Materials and Methods: From a total of 300 patients seeking implant therapy in Al-Salam Hospital Implantology Center, only 45 patients were chosen to undergo implant surgery with age group 17->60 years during the period from February 2002 to February 2005. A case sheet was specially prepared for this study containing information needed to determine the suitable criteria of implantation. Frialit-2 implant system was used with its different lengths and widths (colorcoded). Maxillary and mandibular impressions, registration of maxillo-mandibular jaw relation records were done for each patient to record all findings. Data were collected and statically analyzed. Results: The higher age group patients were 17-30 years with percentage 5.33%, while non-operated patients 51-60 years showed high percentage of 29.66%. Criteria of the forty five patients (22 females and 23 males) participated in this study were statistically analyzed concerning the economical level. The operated patients showed 57.77% level I (high), 40% level II (moderate) and 2.22% level III (low). While for education level showed 53.3% level I, 42.2% level II and 4.4% level III. Conclusion: Low percentage of educational level of patients need an explanation about surgical and prosthetic parts of dental implant to elevate the education level of patients. In addition to educational level, economical level of patient plays an important role in the criteria for selection of patients.
Aims: To investigate age and site distribution (bounded and free end extension saddle area), and the most common width of implant can be used to give a successful results. Determine the percentage and the causes of implant failure. Materials and Methods: One hundred seventeen patients were chosen to undergo implant surgery in Al-Salam Hospital Implant Center with age group (17 y-above 60y). Frialit-2 Implant system is used with its different length and width. Post surgical follow up of patients were for 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks after operation, and each month periodically for 6 months. History, inspection and palpation of the edentulous area considered in order to check pain, paraesthesia, inflammatory process, infection. Post prosthetic follow up of the patients were for a period ranged from 6 month to 7 years, according to clinical and radio graphical examination of the patient. Results: clinical analysis of 117 patients was second and third decades of life ranged from 17-40 Ys (77.77 %) with 142 implants (59.91%). One hundred forty four implants were seated in the maxilla different regions while ninety three implants seated in the mandible (Bounded and free end). Three different widths (3.8, 4.5, and 5.5 mm) were used according to the criteria of patients , and Ferialit II System. Conclusion: Higher range of age needs implant (3.8mm) was between 17-40 years. The success rate in the maxilla was less than mandible. Slight difference was in percentage of success between bounded and free end extension partially missing teeth. The causes of failures were related to poor bone quantity specially in the maxillary arch, Surgical error in implant positioning, poor attitude of the patient to use denture before reliving the area , and Poor fellow up of the patient after gingival former.
