To assess risk factors of dental implants failures

Abstract

Introduction:The present study was conducted to assess risk factors associated with dental implant failure. Materials and Methods:This study was conducted in the department of Prosthodontics. It included 150 dental implants. Data regarding name, age, gender, diameter of implant and bone quality were considered and evaluated. Results: Out of 150 patients, (with 180 implant) male were 77 (60.5%) with 96 (64%) dental implants and female were 73 (39.4%) with 84 (36%) dental implants. There were 34 (10.5%) dental implant failure of which 22 (11.8%) were in male and 12 (8.3%) in female. The difference found to be significant (P< 0.05). Maximum dental implant failure was seen in with <10 mm in (15%) length. The difference found to be significant (P< 0.05). Maximum dental implant failure was seen in dental implant with <3.75 mm width in (14.8%). Maximum dental implant failure was seen with type IV bone in (15.7%). Conclusion: Dental implant failure was high in dental implant with length <10.0 mm, with <3.75 mm width, type IV bone and among male.
