Abstract

Dental implants are the first option for replacement of missing teeth. Failure usually involves additional cost and procedures. As a result, the physician should limit the risk factors associated with implant failures. Implant site is one of many factors that can influence the success or failure of dental implants. The association between early implant failure (EIF) and implant site has yet to be documented. This review aims to estimate the impact of insertion site on the percentage of EIFs. An electronic and manual search of studies that reported early failure of dental implants based on collection site. A total of 21 studies were included in the review and examined for the association between EIF and alveolar site. Subgroup analysis, including a comparison between implants inserted in four alveolar ridge regions of both jaws was performed. The early failure rate was higher for maxillary implants (3.14%) compared to mandibular implants (1.96%). Applying a random effect, risk ratio (RR), and confidence interval (CI) of 95% revealed higher failure in the maxilla compared to the mandible (RR 1.41; 95% CI [1.19, 1.67]; P<0.0001; I2=58%). The anterior maxilla is more critical for early implant loss than other alveolar bone sites. Implants in the anterior mandible exhibited the best success rate compared of the sites.

I. Introduction

Implant failure is the term used for dental implants that require removal or are lost. Early implant failure (EIF) is defined as implant failure before being put into use, i.e., pre-prosthetic phase1.

Despite the progressive increase in the success rate of dental implants, a certain percentage of implant failures remain with unknown etiologies. Clinicians should be aware of any potential risk that may affect implant osseointegration and failure2,3.

Among the local causes of EIF is poor bone quality, a lack of primary stability due to surgical trauma, and infection that disturbs primary bone healing3. Other systemic conditions that influence the initial healing process of bone include uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, corticosteroids, bisphosphonate therapy, and collagen disorders3-5.

Implant site is among the biological factors that may affect implant survival. There has been considerable debate regarding implant site and failure6-8. Several studies have tried to compare implant failure rates regarding implant insertion region of the jaw. Studies have reported that implants fail in the maxilla more than the mandible9-13. Furthermore, the maxillary anterior region exhibited the highest rate of implant failure. Factors contributing to higher implant failure in the maxillary arch compared to mandibular arch are not yet understood14,15. The high implant failure rate observed in the maxilla suggests that low bone density may be a contributing factor responsible for EIF15. Smoking may modulate implant failure by influencing bacterial infections in the maxillary and mandibular arches16.

Many clinical trials have evaluated the locations of implants and concluded that implants inserted in the anterior maxilla failed more than those placed in the posterior maxilla. Moreover, failures in the anterior mandible are more common than posterior failures, with the posterior maxilla recording the highest rate of failure15. A recent study reported that the two jaw bones exhibited the same rate of implant failure and stated that implantation site is not a modulating factor influencing EIF rate17.

EIF is among the worst problems in implantology. Inappropriate surgical protocols, surgical difficulties, decrease in bone volume or quality at the recipient site, and systemic conditions are all confounding factors14.

Implantation sites could play an influential role in the occurrence of EIF. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to analyze high-quality studies to determine if there is a correlation between early failure and implantation site.

II. Materials and Methods

The recommendations of the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement are as follows18.

1. Research question

Is there is any correlation between site of implantation (maxillary anterior, maxillary posterior, mandibular anterior, or mandibular posterior) and EIF?

2. Search strategy

MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB) were individually searched for studies in English from the year 1998 to the present. Manual searches were performed to identify references from primary studies and systematic reviews for relevant data.

The search used a combination of controlled vocabulary “Dental implants”[MeSH Terms] OR (“oral implants”[All Fields] AND “failure”[All Fields] AND “early”[All Fields]) OR “titanium dental implants”[All Fields] OR “early implant failure”[All Fields] OR “dental implant site”[All Fields].

3. Study selection

All abstracts and full articles were screened, and the following inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied.

4. Inclusion criteria

The chosen studies met the criteria of retrospective, prospective, and randomized clinical trials; all age ranges; both sexes; all types of implants either inserted into the drilled site or after use of an osteotome; all patients regardless of smoking status and use of antibiotics.

5. Exclusion criteria

Studies that were excluded from the analysis were those on cadavers, animals, patients with systemic problems affecting bone density or mineralization, patients under treatment with corticosteroids or bisphosphonate therapy, reported failures after prosthetic fixation, implantation in grafted sites, or after sinus lift procedures.

6. Data extraction

The extracted data are shown in a table and comprise authors, publication year, study type, site of implantation, number of implants, number of failed implants, and study power.

7. Quality assessment

Most of the included studies were retrospective. Randomized or blinded studies were impossible, and studies with small sample size or improper methodology were rejected.

8. Assessment of heterogeneity

The chi-square test for heterogeneity was performed, and the extent of the inconsistency of treatment effects (I2) across trials was measured.

We considered heterogeneity as substantial if I2 was greater than 30% or if there was a low P-value (less than 0.10) in the chi-square test for heterogeneity.

We used a fixed-effect meta-analysis for combining data to assume that the studies were estimating the same underlying treatment effect. If there was clinical heterogeneity sufficient to expect that the underlying treatment effects differed between trials or if substantial statistical heterogeneity was detected, we explored this followed by random-effects and subgroup analyses.

9. Assessment of reporting biases

Publication bias was appraised using the visual assessment of symmetry of funnel plots. If asymmetry was detected, we performed exploratory analyses to investigate it.

10. Methodological quality assessment

Data synthesis and meta-analysis were performed according to the rules adopted by the Cochrane Collaboration reviewer’s handbook19. All statistical analyses were conducted using the Review Manager software (RevMan ver. 5.3).

11. Meta-analysis

The dichotomous analysis in the form of number of failed implants in proportion to total implants inserted was analyzed with a risk ratio (RR) (relative risk) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each study. Random effects were selected in the comparison of maxillary and mandibular implant failures because of heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis of anterior and posterior sites in both bones was performed with a fixed effect and 95% CI for accurate results. Risk difference (RD) (absolute risk) was used to declare the results and extraction of the conclusions.

III. Results

1. Study selection

After searching the electronic databases, 341 publications were identified; 17 more articles were added after a manual search (total of 358). Removal of duplicates (120 studies) left 238 studies, studies not meeting the inclusion criteria were rejected (136 studies), and the remaining 102 studies were subjected to full-text reading. Among them, 74 studies were excluded because of insufficient data, 7 studies had methodology bias, and a final total of 21 studies4,10,14,15,20-36 were included in this review.(Fig. 1)

IV. Discussion

EIF depends on the surgeon’s skill, the type and site of implant, the condition of the bone, and the circ*mstances during the healing process.

The primary aim of this review was to explore any association between the site of implantation and EIF by comparing studies with implants inserted in different regions in either the upper and lower jaws to determine the most influential site on implant early failure and to change the practice of using a single implant design for all anatomical regions.

EIFs occur due to formation of fibrous tissue before osseointegration or micro-movements of the implants during healing. EIFs are linked to the quality of bone, implant design, bacterial invasion, or improper site preparation that impede the osseointegration process.

In the current review, studies of a total of 78,230 dental implants with recorded failures after insertion in different anatomical regions were analyzed using a fixed effects model. Studies could not ascertain all the confounding factors that could lead to EIFs.

In this review, we attempted to exclude studies with implants placed in immediate post-extraction sites according to the results of Quirynen et al.37 who linked pathology of the extracted tooth to early failure of the inserted implant. Furthermore, studies that included implants inserted after sinus elevation or bone expansion were excluded from analysis because of the presence of multiple confounding factors.

The percentage of EIFs in this review was 2.55%, and the published failure incidence varied from 2.5% to 3.8%22,38-42.

In agreement with Kim and Lee43, the maxilla has a thinner cortical plate and lower bone density than the mandible. Sites with poor bone quality may be at risk of inability to establish primary stability of the implants resulting in EIFs. High failure rates in the mandibular posterior region have been determined to be caused by overheating of the bone44.

Bone type affects EIF rates, yet some studies included implants inserted in poor quality bone without impacting the implant success rate23,45. A study conducted by Baqain et al.4 reported no difference in early failures for implants inserted in different bone types. Alsaadi et al.22,23 concluded that the implant site did not exhibit a significant effect on implant failures in their prospective study. Esposito et al.6 found that the success rate in the posterior maxillary region was the highest of the anterior maxillary region, posterior mandible, and anterior mandible. The results of the subgroup analysis in the current review agree with them which revealed a non-significant difference in failure between the posterior maxilla and posterior mandible (RR 1.07; 95% CI [0.92, 1.25]; P=0.68; I2=0%) rejecting the hypothesis of bone density.

The results of the current review confirmed that the failure rate of maxillary implants was significantly higher than that of mandibular implants, and implants placed in the maxilla result in two times more failures than those in the mandible.

This review examined the role of implant site as a risk factor responsible for early implant loss in both jaw bones. A RD of 1% was detected between the upper and lower jaws.

Subgroup analysis of the anterior maxillary region compared with the anterior mandibular region revealed more frequent EIF within the upper anterior region (6.2%) compared to the lower anterior region (2.5%). Applying a fixed effect and RR, a significant failure in the anterior maxilla was exhibited compared to the anterior mandible (RR 2.44; 95% CI [2.04, 2.91]; P<0.00001; I2=0%). A 3% RD was detected between the mandibular and maxillary anterior regions. This could be explained by the larger number of risk factors possible for the anterior maxillary region compared to any other site, in the form of lower bone density, undesirable forces due to angulation of the implants, and thin cortical plates. The anterior maxillary region exhibited the lowest success rate compared to the posterior maxillary, posterior mandible, and anterior mandible regions.

Posterior implants in both arches have also shown significant failures compared to anterior mandibular implants.

Restriction of the risk of failure to the insertion site is unfair, but it helps in improving implant designs and surgical techniques to be modified according to insertion site.

Retrospective studies may have the risk of missing data and inaccurate interpretation of the results. Narrowing of the inclusion criteria increases the hom*ogeneity between studies but could result in exclusion of some trials with valuable data.

The percentage of EIF is high compared to failures after loading. This review identified a single primary factor for such failures, and the author recommends further evaluations of implantation site is consideration of other risk factors.

Construction of variable implant designs according to the bone quality of each anatomical site is recommended. Implants designed for high-risk regions should differ in design and surface characteristics compared to those inserted in low failure rate regions.

Implants that depend on bone compression to increase primary stability are not suitable in areas with dense bone. Finally, recently introduced modified implants in the form of nano-topographic surface treatments, high surface wettability, and growth factors are suggested to be placed in high-risk areas such as the anterior maxillary region based on cost benefits.

V. Conclusion

The anterior maxilla is a critical site for EIFs compared to other alveolar sites. Implants inserted in the anterior mandible exhibited the best success rate compared with other alveolar bone sites.

The maxilla is riskier than the mandible regarding EIFs, yet the difference between the posterior maxillary and the posterior mandibular regions is not significant. The RD between the maxilla and mandible is related to the high-risk anterior maxillary region.

The impact of the alveolar bone sites on early implant failure: a systematic review with meta-analysis (2024)

FAQs

The impact of the alveolar bone sites on early implant failure: a systematic review with meta-analysis? ›

The early failure rate was higher for maxillary implants (3.14%) compared to mandibular implants (1.96%). Applying a random effect, risk ratio (RR), and confidence interval (CI) of 95% revealed higher failure in the maxilla compared to the mandible (RR 1.41; 95% CI [1.19, 1.67]; P<0.0001; I2=58%).

What are some systemic factors that can contribute to implant failure? ›

Previously, it has been suggested that systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, etc. might lead to increased dental implant failure.

Does bruxism contribute to dental implant failure a systematic review and meta-analysis? ›

Conclusion: The results of the present systematic review show that implants placed in probable bruxers present a significantly higher risk of failure than implants placed in non-bruxers.

What is the success rate of dental implants systematic review? ›

The summary estimate for 10-year survival at the implant level was 96.4% (95% CI 95.2%-97.5%) and the prediction interval was 91.5%-99.4%. The sensitivity meta-analysis summary estimate of survival was 93.2% (95% CI 90.1% to 95.8%)p = 0.041 with a prediction interval of 76.6%-100%.

What are the risk factors related to late failure of dental implants a systematic review of recent studies? ›

The common risk factors for late failure were divided into three groups according to whether they were related to (1) the patient history (radiation therapy, periodontitis, bruxism and early implant failure), (2) clinical parameters (posterior implant location and bone grade 4) or (3) decisions made by the clinician ( ...

What are the three major reasons for failure of implants? ›

While it is rare, dental implants fail for primarily 3 reasons:
  • Peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis is essentially gum disease related to implants. ...
  • Parafunctional habits. ...
  • Osseointegration.

What is the most common cause of implant failure? ›

Gum Infection Around the Implant

The most common reason why dental implants fail is because of an infection in the jawbone around dental implants, called peri-implantitis. Although implants cannot develop tooth decay, they are still susceptible to the implant form of gum disease.

What is the impact of bisphosphonate therapy upon dental implant survival a systematic review and meta analysis? ›

There was an estimated decrease of 0.004 in log OR for every additional month of follow-up, although it was not significant (p = 0.259). The global estimated implant survival in patients taking BPs after 5 and 10 years was 94.2% (95% CI, 94.0–94.4) and 90.1% (95% CI, 89.8–90.3), respectively.

Is there an effect of crown to implant ratio on implant treatment outcomes a systematic review? ›

Limited biological and technical complications were reported. Conclusion: Data reviewed in the current manuscript on crown-to-implant ratio, ranging from 0.86 to 2.14, of single-tooth, nonsplinted, implants did not demonstrate a high occurrence of biological or technical complications.

What is the relationship between bruxism and dental implants? ›

In relation to dental implants, bruxism can cause overload and has been associated with higher risk of implant failure,4, 5 technical complications and failures of implant-supported restorations,5-12 including even fracture of the implants.

Which oral site has the highest implant failure rate? ›

Several studies have tried to compare implant failure rates regarding implant insertion region of the jaw. Studies have reported that implants fail in the maxilla more than the mandible9-13. Furthermore, the maxillary anterior region exhibited the highest rate of implant failure.

What is the survival rate of dental implants placed at sites of failed implants? ›

A meta-analysis of 11 studies that included 704 replaced implants placed in 579 patients reported a survival rate of 88.7 % for implants placed in previous failed sites.

Are zirconia better than titanium dental implants a systematic review? ›

Two of the comparative studies were assessed at minimal risk of bias. Zirconium implants may have a lower survival rate (risk ratio (RR) = 0.91, CI [0.82–1.02], P = 0.100, I2 = 0%) and a significantly lower success rate than titanium implants (RR = 0.87, CI [0.78–0.98], P = 0.030, I2 = 0%).

How does a dentist fix a failed implant? ›

Failed Dental Implant Treatment

If an implant needs to be replaced, they will take it out and gently clean the area. If the bone is intact around the area of the removed implant, no bone graft will be necessary. If there is bone loss, we may place a bone graft to improve the site for replacing the implant.

What is early failure of dental implants? ›

Early failures occur within the first three to four months of implant placement and are due to a lack of osseointegration. When considering placement or replacement of a dental implant, the clinician and client must examine risks for early failure.

What is the difference between early and late implant failure? ›

The reason for early im- plant failure is lack of osseointegration. The measured parameters do not affect osseointegration; therefore, no relevant conclusion could be drawn. Late implant failures, however, are a result of osseointegration breakdown after everyday use of the implant-sup- ported prosthesis.

What is the systemic response to implants? ›

The response to an implant made with poor osteoimmunodulatory properties includes the release of inflammatory factors that promote excessive chronic inflammation with increased osteoclast activity, causing bone destruction, fibrous capsule formation, and implant loosening.

What are the systemic risk factors for periodontal disease? ›

It's important to talk with your periodontist about any potential risk factors so he or she can adequately classify your disease and establish the right treatment plan.
  • Age. ...
  • Smoking/Tobacco Use. ...
  • Genetics. ...
  • Stress. ...
  • Medications. ...
  • Clenching or Grinding Your Teeth. ...
  • Other Systemic Diseases. ...
  • Poor Nutrition or Obesity.

What are the systemic risk factors for periodontitis? ›

Many of the systemic risk factors for periodontal disease, such as smoking, diabetes and obesity, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, are relatively common and can be expected to affect most patients with periodontal disease seen in clinics and dental practices.

What systemic conditions may be impacted by periodontal disease? ›

Periodontal diseases can predispose individuals to several systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, oral and colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory tract infection and pneumonia, adverse pregnancy outcomes, diabetes and insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's disease.
