The selection criteria of implant is very critical. Implant length determines the mechanics of osseointegration.
To investigate the influence of dental implant length on early failure rates, osseointegration success, peri-implant bone loss, and patient-reported outcomes.
A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 124 participants who underwent dental implant placement. Implant lengths were categorized as short ( = 54), standard ( = 35), or long ( = 35) based on standard industry classifications. Baseline characteristics, implant lengths, and early failure rates within the first six months post-implantation were extracted from clinical records.
Preliminary analysis revealed variations in early failure rates among different implant length categories. Short implants demonstrated a distinct pattern of complications compared to standard and long implants. Early failure rates were 8% for short implants, 4% for standard implants, and 2% for long implants ( = 0.04). Osseointegration success rates were 90%, 95%, and 98% for short, standard, and long implants, respectively. Peri-implant bone loss was 1.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 0.8 mm for short, standard, and long implants, respectively ( = 0.02). Patient-reported outcomes indicated higher satisfaction levels in the long implant group ( = 0.03).
The study highlights the importance of considering implant length in clinical decision-making and suggests potential associations with osseointegration success, peri-implant bone loss, and patient satisfaction.
种植体的选择标准至关重要。种植体长度决定了骨结合的力学性能。
研究牙种植体长度对早期失败率、骨结合成功率、种植体周围骨丢失以及患者报告结局的影响。
对124例接受牙种植体植入的参与者进行回顾性分析。根据标准行业分类，将种植体长度分为短（=54）、标准（=35）或长（=35）三类。从临床记录中提取基线特征、种植体长度以及植入后前六个月内的早期失败率。
初步分析显示不同种植体长度类别之间早期失败率存在差异。与标准和长种植体相比，短种植体表现出独特的并发症模式。短种植体的早期失败率为8%，标准种植体为4%，长种植体为2%（=0.04）。短、标准和长种植体的骨结合成功率分别为90%、95%和98%。短、标准和长种植体的种植体周围骨丢失分别为1.5毫米、1.0毫米和0.8毫米（=0.02）。患者报告结局表明长种植体组的满意度更高（=0.03）。
该研究强调了在临床决策中考虑种植体长度的重要性，并提示其与骨结合成功、种植体周围骨丢失和患者满意度之间可能存在关联。
