Prostho - Perio application of implants: An interdisciplinary approach

The combined prosthodontics and periodontics factors' influencing the long-term success of dental implants through an interdisciplinary approach is of interest. A prospective clinical study involving 100 patients and 150 implants was conducted over 12 months, assessing clinical and radiographic outcomes. Higher success rates were associated with ≥2 mm keratinized mucosa, good bone quality and absence of periodontal disease, while screw-retained prostheses and ideal implant positioning showed superior prosthodontic outcomes. The overall success rate was 94.6%, with complications including peri-implant mucositis (6.7%) and screw loosening (4%). Thus, the importance of collaborative planning and execution between periodontists and prosthodontists for optimal implant performance is shown.
