Objectives:
This study was performed to analyze the cumulative survival rate of Osstem implants (Osstem Implant Co., Ltd.) over a seven-year period.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 105 patients who had 467 Osstem implants that were placed at the Section of Dentistry, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (Seongnam, Korea) from June 2003 through December 2005 were analyzed. The life table method and a cross-tabulation analysis were performed to evaluate the cumulative survival rate. The log rank test was used to evaluate the survival curve. The influence that the prognostic factors had on the survival rate was determined with a Cox proportional hazard model based on logistic regression analysis [corrected].
Results:
The seven-year cumulative survival rate of Osstem implants was 95.37%. The Cox proportional hazard model revealed that the following factors had a significant influence on survival rate; increased diameter, reduced prosthetic loading period and performance of bone grafting.
Conclusion:
The osstem implants showed satisfactory results over the seven-year study period.
