•Dental implants are a widely accepted treatment modality.
•Questions exist regarding complications associated with dental implants.
• Systematic reports of implant complications and associated risk factors are limited.
Specific Aims
• Specific Aim 1: To identify complications associated with dental implants.
• Specific Aim 2: To estimate the frequency of implant complications.
• Specific Aim 3: To identify risk factors associated with implant complications.
Hypothesis
• We hypothesize that we will identify risk factors associated with implant complications that may be modified by the clinician to enhance patient outcome.
Materials and Methods
•Study Design: Retrospective cohort
•Sample: Patients having > one Bicon® implant placed at the Implant Dentistry Centre (IDC), Faulkner Hospital (Boston, MA) between 1992 and 2000
•Randomly selected one implant per patient for study inclusion
•We hypothesized that we would identify risk factors associated with implant complications that may be modified by the clinician to enhance patient outcome.– Tobacco use– Implant staging
Future Investigations
•Tobacco Use -influence on implant complications
•Reconstructive Procedures - influence on implant complications
