Background And Aims:
The present study was conducted to assess failure rate of dental implant in medically compromised patients.
Methods:
This study comprised of 68 medically compromised patients of both genders who underwent dental implants 5 years ago (Group I). Equal number of healthy subjects was taken as control (Group II). Amount of bone loss around the implant over 1mm of bone loss in the first year and over 0.3 mm bone loss every subsequent year were considered as failures.
Results:
The age group of 30-40 comprised of 25 patients in group I and 35 in group II, 40-50 years had 27 in group I and 23 in group II and 50-60 years had 16 in group I and 10 in group II. Medically compromised patients were diabetes (25) with 30 dental implants followed by osteoporosis (16) with 17 dental implants, hypothyroidism (12) with 14 dental implants, organ transplant (10) with 12 dental implants and CVD (5) with 7 dental implants. Chi- square test was applied which revealed significant difference in patients (P < 0.05). In group I, there were 18 (22.5%) and in group II, there were 4 (5.56%) dental implant failures. The difference with chi- square test found to be significant P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Among medically compromised conditions, higher failure rate was found in diabetes.
