COVID-19 had no significant effect on Early failure of dental Implant
COVID-19 had no significant effect on Early Implant failure suggests a new study published in the Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research.
A study was done to analyze the effect of COVID-19 on early implant failures and identify potential risk factors for early implant failure, concerning patient- and implant-related factors.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19, which has infected over 670 million people worldwide so far, can cause cytokine storms, multiorgan failure, sepsis, thrombosis, and death by causing pulmonary complications such as pneumonia and acute respiratory failure.
This retrospective study is based on 1228 patients who received 4841 implants between March 11, 2020, and April 01, 2022, at Erciyes University Faculty of Dentistry. COVID-19, age and gender of patients, smoking, diabetes, irradiation, chemotherapy, osteoporosis, the implant system, location, and characteristics of implants were recorded. At the implant level, univariate and multivariate generalized estimating equation (GEE) logistic regression was used to examine the effect of explanatory variables on early implant failure.
Results
The early implant failure rate was 3.1% at the implant level and 10.4% at the patient level. Smokers showed a significantly higher incidence of early implant failures compared to nonsmokers. (odds ratio (OR; 95% CI): 2.140 (1.438–3.184); p < 0.001). Short implants (≤8 mm) had a higher risk of early implant failure than long implants (≥12 mm) (OR (95% CI): 2.089 (1.290–3.382); p = 0.003).
COVID-19 had no significant effect on early implant failure. Smoking and short implants were associated with a higher risk for early implant failures.
