Influence of Patient’s Age and Gender on DentalImplant TreatmentFiveYear retrospective study

Abstract

Background: In developing countries, there is an increase in awareness among the population regarding dental implant treatment. However, there is paucity in studies on the relationship between patients' biographic information, and different aspects of dental implant treatment. Aims: This study's purpose is to determine the influence of Iraqi patients' age and gender on various clinical aspects in dental implant treatment. The recorded data included: patient age, gender, implant zone, implant timing, implant side, dental implant system, sinus lift, bone augmentation, implant length, and implant diameter. SPSS Ver. 25 was used to perform the statistical analysis. Methods and Materials: Biographic data of 196 Iraqi patients who attended a private dental implant center in Baghdad from 7.1.2016 to 30.4.2020 was recorded. During this period 348 dental implant procedures were completed. Results: There was a highly significant negative relationship (p=0.006) between implant length and patient's age, and a significant positive relationship (p=0.028) between implant size and patient's age. A statistically significant relationship (p=0.013) was found between the patient's age and dental implant zone and dental implant timing (p=0.016). A significant difference was found between the two genders in terms of dental implant timing (p=0.017). Conclusion: females are better candidates for dental implant treatment. Older patients seem to benefit more from shorter, and, subsequently, wider dental implants. Also, older patients tend to have lower anterior dental implants.

Osseodensification vs. Conventional Osteotomy: A Case Series with Cone Beam Computed Tomography

“…In our study, most implants were placed in male patients, 53.3%, which is contrary to most studies, as there is a greater predisposition among females to resort to implant treatment [39]. Regardless of the groups and regardless of the surgical technique, most implants were placed with an insertion torque greater than 35 N/cm (Table 6); however, the result of the association between the variable primary stability and bone density with both techniques was not statistically significant (Table 7).…”

Peripheral Bone Removal versus Sequential Drilling Protocol in Dental Implant Surgery: A 5-Year Retrospective Study

“…The male-to-female ratio in this study indicates that dental implant treatment awareness was higher among females than among males. 12 13 14 15 16 This ratio may also partially explain the high percentage of dental implant treatment in the upper posterior zone. Females often request dental implant treatment for the upper first premolars for aesthetic reasons.…”

“…Females often request dental implant treatment for the upper first premolars for aesthetic reasons. 16 It is agreed that posterior teeth loss is higher than anterior teeth loss in both dental arches. 17 18 This might be the reason for the higher demand for posterior implants in both the upper and lower jaws.…”
