Abstract: Objective: To analyze the clinical curative effect of narrow diameter implant in mandibular anterior region retrospectively. Methods: A total 227 implants in 149 patients with narrow diameter implants in mandibular anterior region were enrolled in this study. The clinical examination indexes included implant survival rate, complications, pink-white esthetic score, and marginal bone loss. Results: The cumulative survival rate of narrow diameter implant was 98.68%. Soft and hard tissues were in good condition, and aesthetic effectiveness was satisfactory during the follow-up. Marginal bone loss was (0.28±0.41) mm, which was affected by oral hygiene, periodontal disease, and smoking. Conclusion: The clinical effect of narrow diameter implant in mandibular anterior region is ideal and reliable. The key to the success of implant supported dentures is to strictly control the risk factors, reasonably formulate the plan of implant restorations, and follow-up regularly to maintain the curative effect.
