  2. 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. Background and Significance

  3. 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.

  4. Hypothesis • We hypothesize that we will identify risk factors associated with implant complications that maybe modified by the clinician to enhance patient outcome.

  5. 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 Materials and Methods

  6. Study Variables • Predictor Variables (Risk Factors) •Demographic -gender -age •Medical -ASA status -tobacco use

  7. Anatomic • implant location (maxilla vs. mandible, anterior vs. posterior) • bone quality (1-4) • implant proximity to teeth or implants • Implant Specific • implant diameter and length • well size • implant coating • implant staging • abutment diameter and angulation

  8. Prosthetic • removable (overdenture) or fixed (crown/ bridge) • Reconstructive • use of procedures/materials to enhance recipient site • Other -perioperative antibiotic use

  9. Study Variables (Cont’d) • Outcome Variable • presence or absence of complications • Complications grouped into three categories • inflammatory • prosthetic • operative

  10. Inflammatory Complications -mobility -pain -infectious process -peri-implantitis -impaired wound healing -gingival recession

  11. Prosthetic Complications • abutment fracture/loosening • O-ring damage requiring replacement less than twelve months after insertion of overdenture • occlusal or prosthetic adjustment more than two weeks after delivery of permanent restoration • recementation of loose prosthesis within two weeks of delivery

  12. Operative complications • inadvertent placement of implant into sinus or submandibular space • paresthesia

  13. Data Analysis • Descriptive statistics and complication frequencies • Analyses to identify candidate variables (risk factors) associated with complications (p<0.15) -univariate Cox proportional hazards regression model • Identification of specific variables associated with complications (p< 0.05) -multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model

  28. DISCUSSION (cont’d) • Risk factors associated with implant complications • Overall: Smoking, one-stage implants, use of reconstructive procedures • Inflammatory: Smoking, one-stage implants, use of reconstructive procedures • Operative: Jaw (maxilla), use of reconstructive procedures • Prosthetic: None identified

  29. Conclusion • 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
