Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine and analyze the survival rates of dental implants placed by undergraduate dental students under supervision at the University of Alberta's School of Dentistry over a 10-year period.
Methods: Charts from patients who received either single or multiple dental implants between 1 January 2007 and 31 July 2017 were reviewed. Patients' age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class and implant site data were extracted and compiled for statistical analysis.
Results: Of 299 implants placed in 189 patients, 1 failed and required removal.
Conclusion: In this study, the survival rate of implants placed over a 10-year period was 99.7%. Supervision by certified specialists, strict case selection criteria and maintenance and care protocols at the university's dental clinic likely contribute to the high survival rate.
