Abstract

Background and aims: The development of dental implantology is based on a thorough examination of the interaction of implants with the surrounding tissues, as well as methods of stimulating osteogenesis around implants. The most common approach to restore lost dentition in terms of function and aesthetics is now represented by implants. The objective of our study was to comparatively assess the efficiency of prosthetic treatments performed on implants alone versus on implants in conjunction with abutment teeth.

Methods: The study was carried out over seven years (2016-2023), with evaluations at one, two, three, and five years. For this analysis, MedCalc® version 12.5.0.0 (MedCalc® Software, Mariakerke, Belgium) was utilised as the medical statistical software.

Results and conclusions: When using dental implants and natural teeth abutments for prosthodontic reconstruction, the failure rates rise approximately 43 times when compared to dental implant rehabilitation; similarly, osteoporosis and diabetes mellitus increase failure rates by 32 and 20 times, respectively. Gingival inflammation is a frequent event (almost 50% frequency) observed during follow-up of patients who had prosthetic restoration using dental implants alone as well as implants and abutment teeth. For both groups, difficulties usually arise two years later.

Keywords: bone volume reconstruction; dental implants; inflammatory complications; prosthetic rehabilitation.
