Risk Factors for Early Dental Implant Failure

CONCLUSIONS: This study found that younger, male, and smoker patients were associated with an increase in early failure of dental implants. Significantly increased failure rates were also seen for implants placed in the mandible, and there were differences with respect to implant system. Although differences were found in early failure both for patient- and implant-related factors, the overall early failure rate (5.4%) in this study was low.PMID:38416010 | DOI:10.11607/jomi.10418
