Retrospective analysis of an implant system

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Biomaterials Science
• Surgical Technology

Background:

• Dental implant success relies on integrated design, precise placement, and effective reconstruction.
• Retrospective analysis is a key method for assessing the long-term performance of dental implants.
• Evaluating specific implant systems, like Bicon dental implants, is crucial for understanding their clinical reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

• To assess the reliability and survivability of Bicon dental implants over a 10-year period.
• To evaluate the effectiveness of the combined techniques used in Bicon dental implantology.
• To establish benchmarks for implant success based on defined clinical parameters.

Main Methods:

• A retrospective analysis was conducted across 13 dental practices.
• Life table survival analysis was employed to evaluate implant survivability over 10 years.
• Success parameters included absence of implant loss, mobility, persistent bone loss, discomfort, and purulence.

Main Results:

• The study demonstrated a high survivability rate for Bicon dental implants over the 10-year evaluation period.
• The evaluated parameters indicated consistent success and reliability of the implant system and associated techniques.
• No significant complications like implant loss or persistent bone loss were reported within the success criteria.

Conclusions:

• Bicon dental implants exhibit high reliability and survivability when assessed over a 10-year period.
• The combination of design, placement, and reconstructive techniques contributes significantly to the success of Bicon dental implants.
• The findings support the clinical efficacy of Bicon dental implants based on established success criteria.
