A literature review on prosthetically designed guided implant placement and the factors influencing dental implant success

This is an extensive review of the literature on prosthetically designed implant planning with particular regard to the factors influencing dental implant success. Electronic searches on PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and manual searches were performed. The author selected the studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of implant placement accuracy and a qualitative review of potential influencing factors were performed.This literature review will explore prosthetically designed implant placement and its influence on dental implant success. By examining the factors that impact implant outcomes, this review aims to provide clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the key considerations and best practices in achieving successful implant placements. Ultimately, this knowledge can contribute to enhancing patient care and the long-term success of dental implant treatments. This paper underscores the importance of prosthetically guided implant placement, which ensures that the implant is placed in a position that is optimal for the final prosthetic result. This approach not only enhances aesthetic outcomes but also ensures functional efficacy, contributing to the longevity and success of the implant.The findings highlight various factors that influence the success of dental implants, such as the quality and quantity of the bone where the implant is to be placed, the patient's oral hygiene and the surgeon's skills and expertise. Understanding these factors allows dental professionals to optimise pre-surgical planning and post-surgical care to maximise implant success rates.By focusing on prosthetically designed implant placement and understanding the factors that influence implant success, dental professionals can enhance patient outcomes. This approach minimises the risk of implant failure, ensures optimal functional and aesthetic results and can potentially reduce the need for additional procedures, thereby improving patient satisfaction and overall experience.
