Outcomes of dental implants in young patients with congenital versus non-congenital missing teeth.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the effect of the cause of missing teeth on the survival and subjective success of dental implant treatment (DIT) in young patients with missing teeth due to non-congenital causes (tooth loss) in comparison to patients with missing teeth because of congenital causes (hypodontia and oligodontia).

Material and methods

All patients were asked 7 questions to extract information about the survival and subjective success of DIT. Implant survival function was designed using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Differences in implant success outcomes were studied using binary logistic regression analysis.

Results

One hundred ten patients aged 18 to 40 years old were included, whereof 32 patients with tooth loss, 25 patients with
