Abstract

Osseointegration of a dental implant may encounter a variety of problems caused by various factors, as prior health-related problems, patients' habits and the technique of the implant inserting. Retrospective cohort study of 70 patients who received implants between January 2011-April 2016 in one dental unit, with Kaplan-Meier method to calculate the probability of implants's survival at 60 months. The analysis included demographic data, age, gender, medical history, behavior risk factors, type and location of the implant. For this cohort the implants'survival for the first 6 months was 92.86% compared to the number of patients and 97.56% compared to the number of total implants performed, with a cumulative failure rate of 2.43% after 60 months. Failures were focused exclusively on posterior mandible implants, on the percentage of 6.17%, odds ratio (OR) for these failures being 16.76 (P = 0.05) compared with other localisations of implants, exclusively in men with median age of 42 years.
