Summary
High survival and success rates for Straumann dental implants were observed in private practice. This study of 1000 implants demonstrates excellent long-term outcomes with proper planning and protocols.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Periodontal Prosthodontics
Background:
- Limited data exists on dental implant clinical outcomes in private practice settings.
- This study addresses the gap by analyzing Straumann implants placed in specialist periodontal private practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical outcomes of 1000 consecutively placed Straumann implants.
- To assess implant survival, success rates, and complications in a private practice environment.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 1000 consecutively placed Straumann implants.
- Data extraction included patient demographics, implant details, surgical procedures, loading protocols, prostheses, and outcomes.
- Life table analysis was used to determine cumulative survival and success rates.
Main Results:
- The majority of implants were placed in patients aged 40-69, with most receiving 1-2 implants.
- A 5-year cumulative survival rate of 99.2% and a 10-year rate of 98.4% were recorded.
- 5-year cumulative success rate was 93.1%, and 10-year rate was 90.9%, with 45 complications reported.
Conclusions:
- High implant survival and success rates are achievable in private practice.
- Careful treatment planning and adherence to surgical/prosthetic protocols are crucial for optimal outcomes.
