VELASCO-ORTEGA, E et al. Long-term clinical research of treatment with dental implants. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.3, pp.41-50.  Epub Nov 06, 2023. ISSN 2340-3152.

Clinical implant dentistry has evolved significantly during last decades. The development of diagnostic, surgical and prosthetic aspects has improved the predictability of osseointegration and long-term clinical outcomes of the implant treatment. Moreover, several criteria of clinical and radiographic conditions have been incorporated in the concept of implant success, as implant level, peri-implant tissues, prosthetic level, and patient satisfaction. The scientific evidence of the literature demonstrates that implant treatment is an excellent option for the rehabilitation of patients with partial and total edentulism. In fact, long-term studies are reported the success of fixed total rehabilitation, overdentures, fixed bridges and single crowns. However, some biological and technical complications are defined the different concepts of success and survival of prosthetic and dental implants.
