Patient satisfaction with dental implants is high, with 88% reporting good or excellent outcomes. This study highlights the importance of including subjective patient feedback alongside clinical data for a comprehensive assessment of dental implant success.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Current dental implant success rates exceed 90%, yet patient satisfaction is infrequently assessed.
  • Limited literature exists on patient satisfaction with dental implants, necessitating further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze patient satisfaction with various dental implant systems.
  • To evaluate the correlation between clinical parameters and patient-reported satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study involving 330 patients and 1,273 implants from four systems (Astra, Frialit-2, IMZ TwinPlus, ITI).
  • Clinical investigation combined with a standardized questionnaire assessing patient opinion on implant success.
  • Analysis of 199 returned questionnaires (63% response rate).

Main Results:

  • 88% of patients reported good or excellent satisfaction with their dental implants.
  • Prosthetic treatment satisfaction was 80%, with 86% finding the overall treatment comfortable.
  • High willingness to repeat (91%) or recommend (94%) the procedure.
  • No statistically significant correlation found between clinical parameters and patient satisfaction scores.

Conclusions:

  • Subjective patient satisfaction is a crucial metric for evaluating dental implant success.
  • Objective clinical parameters alone do not fully predict patient satisfaction.
  • Future assessments should integrate patient-reported outcomes with clinical findings.
