Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The present study was conducted to assess failure rate of dental implant in medically compromised patients. METHODS: This study comprised of 68 medically compromised patients of both genders who underwent dental implants 5 years ago (Group I). Equal number of healthy subjects was taken as control (Group II). Amount of bone loss around the implant over 1mm of bone loss in the first year and over 0.3 mm bone loss every subsequent year were considered as failures. RESULTS: < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Among medically compromised conditions, higher failure rate was found in diabetes.
