Analysis of factors that affect implant-supported prostheses in maxillary edentulous patients

This study evaluated the survival rates of dental implants and prostheses in patients with maxillary edentulism using both randomized controlled trials (RCT) and prospective studies. The follow-up time for the selected articles ranged from 5 to 15 years. The implant survival rates ranged from 51% to 100% in RCT studies and 72% to 99% in prospective studies. Prostheses survival rates ranged from 78% to 100% in prospective studies, while RCT studies reported rates between 91% to 100%. Marginal bone loss rates ranged from 0.5mm to 2.45mm in RCT studies and 0.23mm to 1.39mm in prospective studies. This study suggests that the number and location of implants, need for sinus lift, and the type of opposing dentition can impact implant and prosthesis survival rates. Overall, this study provides valuable insights for clinicians in the management of maxillary edentulism using implant-supported prostheses.
