The use of dental implants to restore edentulous areas has increased significantly since the 1970s and is now considered, by many, the gold standard restorative treatment. As such it has become increasingly important to understand what constitutes success for these rehabilitations. Increasing focus has been given to acknowledging the difference between success and survival: the two being potentially very different outcomes for such invasive and expensive treatment. This article aims to describe this distinction and ultimately the implications of this for both patient and clinician.
自20世纪70年代以来，使用牙种植体修复无牙区的情况显著增加，现在许多人认为这是金标准修复治疗。因此，了解这些修复成功的构成要素变得越来越重要。人们越来越关注认识到成功与存留之间的差异：对于这种侵入性且昂贵的治疗，这两者可能是截然不同的结果。本文旨在描述这种区别，并最终阐述其对患者和临床医生的影响。
