Abstract

Over the years, dentistry research showed that the dental implant operation is the best way to replace missing teeth, because they last a long time due to their longevity. It's functional and it looks nice, over the past forty years the state of the art in implants, in materials, the surface, in devices and in designs for prosthetics is improving the aesthetics and clinical effectiveness. The current review evaluates the long-term outcome of dental implants, survival and success rates by demographic (e.g., patient group, implant classification) level, comprehensively in patients. It also integrates information from long-term cohort studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses to examine factors influencing implant survival and potential biological or mechanical complications. This includes demographical differences, systemic issues like diabetes and osteoporosis, tobacco use, implant macro- and micro-design and prosthetic considerations. In addition, it has been shown by this review to have a global survival rate over 90–95% above the benchmark of 10 years post diagnosis. Nevertheless, demographic and implant-specific factors are determinants for complication profiles and marginal bone stability. Tailored treatment planning is also essential for implant longevity.
