Abstract
Background: Dental implants play a pivotal role in restoring lost dentition, and short dental implants (equal or <8mm) have emerged as an alternative to traditional bone augmentation procedures. This study aims to evaluate the success rates of short dental implants in the Kurdish population, considering various factors such as patient demographics, implant characteristics, and their impact on satisfaction levels. Materials and Methods: Seventy patients who received short implants in both jaws were included, with a minimum follow-up period of 1 year. Implant length, diameter, location, and patient demographics were analysed. Success criteria were based on Misch et al.'s definition, and marginal bone loss was assessed via orthopantomograms obtained 12 months post-implantation. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests and correlation assessments, were conducted. Results: The study found a link between patient age and implant success, with younger patients having higher success rates.Gender disparities were observed in satisfaction outcomes, with smoking status having a significant impact. Although the site of the implant had no significant impact on satisfaction rates,patients with diabetes mellitus had lower levels of satisfaction.Longer and wider implants were associated with higher success rates. Conclusion: This study sheds light on short dental implant success in the Kurdish population, stressing the multivariate character of outcomes. Tailored treatment regimens, particularly for diabetic patients, can improve predictability and success rates during implantation procedures. Future research should go deeper into these characteristics to gain a better understanding of short dental implant success.
