Abstract

Peri-implant pathologies pose significant challenges in dental implantology, affecting the longevity and success rates of implants. Identifying factors associated with these pathologies is crucial for improved patient outcomes and enhanced implant longevity. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a cohort of [arbitrary number] patients who underwent dental implant placement between [arbitrary date range]. Data on patient demographics, medical history, implant characteristics, and peri-implant parameters were collected. Statistical analyses, including logistic regression, were employed to identify factors associated with peri-implant pathologies at the implant level. Results: Among the [arbitrary number] dental implants included in the analysis, [arbitrary percentage] exhibited peri-implant pathologies. Significant associations were observed between peri-implant pathologies and factors such as smoking status (odds ratio [OR]: [arbitrary value], 95% confidence interval [CI]: [arbitrary range]), presence of peri-implant mucositis (OR: [arbitrary value], 95% CI: [arbitrary range]), and inadequate oral hygiene (OR: [arbitrary value], 95% CI: [arbitrary range]). Additionally, implant location (OR: [arbitrary value], 95% CI: [arbitrary range]) and implant surface characteristics (OR: [arbitrary value], 95% CI: [arbitrary range]) were found to be associated with peri-implant pathologies. Conclusion: This cross-sectional analysis identifies several factors associated with peri-implant pathologies at the implant level. These findings underscore the importance of patient-related factors such as smoking cessation and maintenance of optimal oral hygiene practices in minimizing the risk of peri-implant complications. Moreover, considerations regarding implant location and surface characteristics may contribute to improved long-term implant outcomes.
