When dental implants were first introduced, the emphasis for long-term success was on the surgical phase of treatment. Subsequently, the emphasis changed from a focus on the surgical technique to proper fixture placement, which would be dictated by the prosthetic and aesthetic needs of each patient. In more recent years, implant maintenance and effective patient home care have been emphasized as two critical factors needed for long-term success of dental implants.
当种植牙首次被引入时，长期成功的重点在于治疗的手术阶段。随后，重点从关注手术技术转变为合适的种植体植入位置，这将由每位患者的修复和美学需求决定。近年来，种植体维护和有效的患者家庭护理已被视为种植牙长期成功所需的两个关键因素。
