Abstract

Introduction: dental implant failure is a major concern for the clinician and the patient. Objectives: The aim of our study is to investigate the way in which 100 Tunisian dentists carried implant treatment for their patients from early phase of planning and selection of patients to the placement of the implant in order to look for the implant failure factors Results: significant correlations were found between failure rates > 5 and their corresponding factors as number of implants placed (p = 0.001<0, 05), smoking (0.046 <0.05), unbalanced diabetes (0.03<0.05), aseptic protocol (= 0.004< 0.05) and the drilling speed (0,002<0.05). Conclusion: It seems that number of implant placed, smoking, diabetes, aseptic protocol and the drilling speed may contribute to dental implant failure.
