The Impact of Dental Implant Length on Failure Rates: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The present review aimed to evaluate the impact of implant length on failure rates between short (<10 mm) and long (≥10 dental implants. An electronic search was undertaken in three databases, as well a manual journals. Implant outcome evaluated. Meta-analysis performed addition meta-regression order verify how risk ratio (RR) associated with follow-up time. included 353 publications. Altogether, there were 25,490 159,435 Pairwise meta-analysis showed that implants had higher than (RR 2.437, p < 0.001). There decrease probability longer when different groups compared. A sensitivity analysis, which plotted together only studies times 7 years or less, resulted an estimated increase 0.6 RR for every additional month follow-up. In conclusion, 2.5 is multifactorial, one many factors contributing loss implant. good treatment plan patient’s general health should be taken into account planning treatment.
