INFLUENCE OF PERIODONTAL STATUS & PROSTHETIC TREATMENT ON SURVIVAL AND SUCCESS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS IN FAISALABAD

Background: Dental implants are often used to replace lost teeth, but prosthetic care and periodontal health are two aspects that affect their long-term effectiveness. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of periodontal status and prosthetic treatment on the survival and success rates of dental implants, with a focus on their combined effects on long-term outcomes. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Madina Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad, Pakistan, between January 2024 to December 2024. The 318 patients who had dental implants inserted and repaired and were at least 18 years old were included. Information was gathered on occlusal design, prosthetic therapy, implant type, location, and periodontal health. Clinical and radiological criteria were used to evaluate implant survival and success, and statistical analyses, such as logistic regression and chi-square tests, were carried out to examine correlations between factors and implant outcomes. Results: The success rate (95.33%) and survival rate (98.00%) of implants were greater in individuals with healthy periodontal tissue than in those with treated periodontitis (94.64% survival, 90.00% success). While full arch prosthesis had the lowest survival (94.00%) and success rates (89.58%), single crowns had the best survival (97.50%) and success rates (94.00%). Significant correlations between survival and success rates and prosthetic therapy, implant site, implant type, and periodontal health were discovered. Conclusion: Dental implant outcomes are strongly influenced by periodontal health and prosthetic therapy; patients with single crown restorations and healthy periodontiums show higher outcomes.
