# Prostho - Perio application of implants: An interdisciplinary approach

## TL;DR

This study shows that teamwork between dental specialists improves the success of dental implants.

## Contribution

The paper highlights the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration in implant dentistry.

## Key findings

- A 94.6% success rate was achieved with proper implant planning and execution.
- Keratinized mucosa ≥2 mm and good bone quality improved implant outcomes.
- Screw-retained prostheses and ideal implant positioning reduced complications.

## Abstract

The combined prosthodontics and periodontics factors' influencing the long-term success of dental implants through an interdisciplinary
approach is of interest. A prospective clinical study involving 100 patients and 150 implants was conducted over 12 months, assessing
clinical and radiographic outcomes. Higher success rates were associated with ≥2 mm keratinized mucosa, good bone quality and absence of
periodontal disease, while screw-retained prostheses and ideal implant positioning showed superior prosthodontic outcomes. The overall
success rate was 94.6%, with complications including peri-implant mucositis (6.7%) and screw loosening (4%). Thus, the importance of
collaborative planning and execution between periodontists and prosthodontists for optimal implant performance is shown.
