Purpose:
To evaluate the long-term clinical results of and risk factors for immediate-loading implant treatment of completely edentulous mandibles.
Methods:
We retrospectively studied 220 implants in 52 patients who received immediate-loading implants in fully edentulous mandibles. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, log-rank tests, and multilevel mixed-effects parametric survival analysis was used for statistical analyses.
Results:
Thirteen of implants in seven patients failed, and the 10-year cumulative implant survival rate was 93.9 % and significantly (p=0.049) higher in women than in men. None of the predictor variables were significantly associated with implant survival, although sex tended to be associated with implant survival.
Conclusions:
Immediate-loading implant treatment for completely edentulous mandibles had acceptable clinical results in the long term. Although we could not identify significant risk factors, we established a multilevel mixed-effects parametric survival analysis with the immediate-loading implant survival data.

Truncation in Survival Analysis
Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...
