Oral Rehabilitation of Hypodontia Patients Using an Endosseous Dental Implant: Functional and Aesthetic Results

Abstract: Hypodontia often leads to limited bone availability of the alveolar ridges. Oral rehabilitation of severe hypodontia patients is challenging. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the functional and aesthetic results after dental implants in hypodontia patients, corroborated by Albrektsson implant success criteria. Over a period of 15 years (2000–2015), a total of 43 patients were diagnosed with hypodontia and 165 dental implants were inserted. Six patients who received 10 implants were lost in the follow-… Show more

“…This is also in accordance with another retrospective study from France, which reported on satisfaction 10-16 years after implantation [24]. Sligthly lower subjective satisfaction of patients were found in a retrospective study from Germany with 37 hypodontia patients recruited 0.5-16 years after implantation, however the results were then improved by using objective assessments [33]. Despite of the small sample size of patients with implant-supported removable prostheses in our study (only five patients), a great OHRQoL among the patients with implant-supported removable prostheses could also be confirmed, even though none of the removable prostheses were free from clinical complications and require more prosthetic maintenance [34].…”

“…To calculate the survival rate, the existing implants were noted during the clinical examination and the number and time of removed implants were documented. Since implant survival is not equivalent to implant success [33,34], success criteria of Buser et al [30] and Albrektsson et al [29] were evaluated in this study. Albrektsson et al defined dental implant success as a state of no clinical implant mobility or radiographic radiolucency, annual vertical bone loss of less than 0.2 mm after the first year post surgery, and absence of irreversible symptoms such as pain, infection, neuropathy, paranesthesia or mandibular canal injury [29].…”

“…The variance of 35.7 to 98.7% is explained by the inclusion of studies performed in children (< 15 years old) with lower bone quantity and thus a higher risk for DIT failure rate. In another study, patients with hypodontia and oligodontia showed high satisfaction and masticatory function (69.4%), high phonetic ability (80.6%), and high implant success (88.4%) according to Albrektsson criteria [3].…”
