Dental implants are extensively used and are considered to be one of several treatment options that can
be used to replace missing teeth. A number of implant-supported treatment alternatives have been used
successfully to restore a single tooth and multiple teeth, as well as a completely edentulous jaw. However,
as the number of patients who have dental implants is increasing, dental personnel are more likely to see
patients with implant-supported restorations or prostheses. There are many systemic and local factors that
effect the survival of implants, Therefore, a basic knowledge of dental implants and associated factors for
the survival of dental implants is necessary for the success of dental implants.
