Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Osteo-integratable dental implant systems have been available for 25 years.
  • The average functional lifespan of dental implants is approximately 20 years.
  • Key indications include the edentulous mandible, edentulous maxilla, free-end bridges, and single-tooth replacement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical development and current applications of dental implant systems.
  • To highlight the longevity and primary indications for dental implants.
  • To discuss advancements in bone augmentation techniques for implantology.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of dental implantology advancements.
  • Analysis of clinical data on implant survival rates and indications.
  • Examination of bone grafting and augmentation procedures.

Main Results:

  • Dental implants demonstrate a mean survival of 20 years when used appropriately.
  • Established indications cover a range of tooth loss scenarios.
  • Advanced bone regenerative procedures have broadened the scope of implant candidacy.

Conclusions:

  • Dental implants are a durable and versatile solution for tooth replacement.
  • Proper patient selection and surgical technique are crucial for long-term success.
  • Innovations in bone management have significantly increased the applicability of dental implants.
