CAD/CAM 3 2016 research cone beam supplement | 49 retrospective study: anterior maxilla, posterior max- illa, anterior mandible, and posterior mandible.35 In his report, the location of implants did not appear to haveanyeffectonimplantsurvival,implantfracture rates,screwloosening,orscrewfracture.Pareinetal. analysed 392 consecutively placed Brånemark im- plants that were inserted in 152 partially edentulous posterior mandibles and restored with 56 crown and 168 bridge restorations in a long-term retrospective study.36 The CSR of all implants in the posterior mandible was 89.0 percent at six years. Fewer complications were found in implant pros- theseslocatedexclusivelyinthepremolarregionver- sus molar and mixed molar-premolar implant resto- rations. Drago investigated the location-related osseointegration of 673 implants placed in 169 pa- tientsthatwereobservedfromsevenmonthstoeight years following occlusal loading.14 Implant osseo- integration was 89.1 percent in the anterior maxilla, 71.4 percent in the posterior maxilla, 96.7 percent in theanteriormandible,and98.7percentintheposte- rior mandible. Moy et al. analysed implant failure rates and associated risk factors, observed implant failureof8.16percentinthemaxillaand4.93percent in the mandible.37 Increased age (over 60) was strongly associated with the risk of implant failure. Bass et al., evaluating 303 patients with 1,097 im- plantsoverathree-yearperiod,assessedthesuccess rate of implants in the maxilla at 93.4 percent and 97.2 percent in the mandible.38 Poor bone quality played the major role in implant failure with bone quantity demonstrating less importance. AllpresentedreportsappeartoagreethattheCSR of dental implants is generally high and that implant location plays an important role in implant success. CSR of implants in the mandible seems to be slightly higher than in the maxilla—a difference of about 4percent.Thesuccessrateofimplantsintheanterior regions seems to be higher than in the posterior re- gions of the jaws, mostly due to the quality of bone: about12percentdifferencebetweenanteriormaxilla andposteriormaxilla,andabout4percentdifference between anterior mandible and posterior mandible. Onthebasisofreviewedliteraturereports,animplant treatment in the anterior mandible appears to be the most successful. The posterior maxilla appears to be theleastsuccessfulregionofthejawsforimplantre- habilitation. Conclusion There is a trend of escalating levels of HFU in dif- ferent parts of the oral cavity. The highest being the anterior mandible, followed by the posterior maxilla, posterior mandible, anterior maxilla and posterior maxilla with sinus lift procedure respectively. Esti- matedHFUcanassistthesurgicalphase,asthenum- ber of the ancillary procedures can be pre-estimated according to different areas in the mouth during the diagnostic phase._ Editorial note: A list of references is available from thepublisher.
