Carr AB, et al. - This retrospective analysis examined how early implant failure are impacted by patient factors, surgical manipulations, and systemic conditions via medical records of consecutive adult patients with dental implants seen between 2000 and 2014 in the Department of Dental Specialties, at the Mayo Clinic. Increased early implant failure were associated with the preplacement surgical manipulations of bone augmentation only, socket preservation, and xenogenic material. Researchers reported that alveoloplasty only at placement was related to reduced early implant failure. No single or multiple medical condition(s) and no single or multiple medication(s) increased patient risk of implant failure in the first year after placement after adjustment for age, sex, and implant era. An effort to reduce the incidence of surgical complications in order to reduce early failure of dental implants was supported in these findings.
