Incidence of Implant Fracture and Related Risk Factors

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2023.04.009

Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To analyze the cause of implant fracture after different periods of load, evaluate the risk factors, and explore the clinical strategies to prevent implant fracture. Methods: A total of 2492 patients(with 4823 implants)treated in the Department of Oral Implantology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2009 to December 2020 were included. The patients' medical records and the X-ray films were used to analysis the risk factors affecting implant fracture and discuss the preventive measures. Results: Eight patients with 9 implants were found to occur the implant fractures. The average loading time of the implants was (7.2±3.19) years, the age of the patients at the time of implant fracture was (55.5±11.13) years, the incidence of implant fracture during follow-up was 0.18% (9/4823). Conclusion: The clinical symptoms before implant fracture can predict implant fracture. If the clinical symptoms are observed, appropriate clinical treatment should be taken in time. Implant diameter, repair method, patient's parafunctions were the influencing factors of implant fracture.
