Long‐term Survival of Straumann Dental Implants with TPS Surfaces: A Retrospective Study with a Follow‐up of 12 to 23 Years

Abstract

This study emphasized the long-term rehabilitation capabilities of Straumann dental implants in complex cases. The survival rates after several years constitute important information for patients, as well as for clinicians, in deciding about different concepts of tooth replacement. Patient-related and technical factors - determined before implant placement - could help to predict the risk of implant loss.

Clinical and radiographic peri‐implant health status around narrow diameter implant‐supported single and splinted crowns

“…Although the survival rates of these implants were not evaluated using Kaplan‐Meier survival analysis which is one of the limitation of the present study. The survival analysis may have given us more insight about the overall clinical performance of NDISCs and NDISPs . Worthy‐of‐note, oral hygiene was relatively better among all the patients.…”

A retro‐prospective effectiveness study on 3448 implant operations at one referral clinic: A multifactorial analysis. Part I: Clinical factors associated to early implant failures

“…The early following studies, confirming the applicability of implants in dental treatment, were also based on similar follow‐up of design, covering consecutively treated patients at single clinics . Thereafter, similar effectiveness studies, focused on larger numbers of patients provided with routine implant treatment in specific clinics, have been used during the years to report data on different aspects as, for example, prevalence of implant failures, bone loss/peri‐implantitis, or other problems . Besides the routine character of the treated patients in these databases, larger numbers of patients are possible to include, followed‐up for longer time periods, and more factors may be used in the statistical analyzes.…”

A retro‐prospective effectiveness study on 3448 implant operations at one referral clinic: A multifactorial analysis. Part II: Clinical factors associated to peri‐implantitis surgery and late implant failures

“…Even though the majority of dental implants that are placed today can be expected to be successful, still some failures can be observed in large groups of patients treated in routine practice . These failures could be classified as implants that never fully integrate and are lost early (“early failures”) and those implants that have been successfully integrated and have been in function for a period of time before losing its osseointegration (“late failures”) …”
