Abstract

Implant failures are still an issue of concern for clinicians, since they frequently result from functional impairments, patient dissatisfaction, and extra treatment charges. There are so many reasons why an implant may fail, including Peri-implantitis, soft tissue complications, a history of periodontal diseases, and surgical or prosthetic planning. This is a radiometric retrospective study using patients’ files. Each file was screened and observed for any bone loss around the implants, along with other variables such as gender, age, systemic disease, and implant position. Clinician’s background, such as periodontist, resident, or surgeon, was recorded as well. The follow-up date was one year from the treatment date. This information was verified by two examiners, and inter-examiner reliability was recorded. All of the observations were listed on an Excel sheet and transferred to SPSS version 22. Inter-examiner reliability was 95%, with 270 files being screened. Implant failure was observed in 7% of the screened files. The association between implant failure and related factors will be presented in the final report. A statistically significant association was observed between implant failure and systemic diseases and age. However, no association was noted when analyzed on the basis of gender and implant position.
