Abstract

Purpose: The current clinical study was conducted to evaluate the effect of implant placement location, implant fixture length and diameter, and surface treatment as different implant factors and their contribution to implant survival. Material and Methods: the current study was done on 130 patients who underwent dental implant placement in different universities and clinics. Different types of data were collected including implant location in the arch, implant length and diameter, and surface treatment of implant fixture. Clinical evaluation was then done to evaluate both the intraoral condition of the patient and the implant clinical condition. A radiographic examination was also conducted to evaluate the implant condition. Results: The correlation between Implant survival and implant location was a weak positive correlation, and this correlation was not statistically significant. There was a weak negative correlation between implant survival and implant length, and this correlation was statistically significant. There was a weak positive correlation between implant survival and implant diameter, and this correlation wasn’t statistically significant. There was a weak negative correlation between implant survival and surface treatment, and this correlation wasn’t statistically significant. Conclusion: The current study revealed that implant location on the arch and implant diameter influence implant survival, unlikely that implant length and surface treatment did not have the same effect on implant survival.
