# Linking prosthodontics and periodontics: An implant success rate

## TL;DR

This study shows that dental implant success depends on both prosthodontic and periodontal factors, with good results when both are well-managed.

## Contribution

The study demonstrates the critical interplay between prosthodontic and periodontal factors in achieving high implant success rates.

## Key findings

- Implant stability is strongly correlated with periodontal health, including gingival health and bone density.
- Prosthodontic factors like occlusal load and abutment stability significantly influence implant success.
- Over 90% success rate was observed in patients with balanced occlusal forces and healthy periodontal profiles.

## Abstract

Implant success is significantly influenced by the interplay of prosthodontic and periodontal factors, as demonstrated in this study
of 20 subjects undergoing dental implant placement. Key findings highlight a strong correlation between implant stability and periodontal
health, particularly gingival health and bone density, while prosthodontic elements such as occlusal load and abutment stability also
played pivotal roles. Patients with balanced occlusal forces, stable abutments and healthy periodontal profiles achieved over 90%
success in stability and functionality. These results emphasize the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, integrating meticulous
prosthodontic planning with robust periodontal maintenance to optimize implant outcomes.
