Oral rehabilitation by superstructures on dental implants

Abstract

Dental implants are today an indispensable part of clinical dentistry. The market is estimated to reach approximately USD 7.8 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6-7% during 2023-2030 [1]. Recent studies indicate that dental implants have a survival rate of approximately 90-95% over a 10-year period. Some studies even report survival rates of 95-98% over a 5-year period [2]. The main concern is related to the aging of the population. Diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and medication use are all medical conditions that can prevent bone healing around dental implants. With this in mind, research to develop better methods to improve implant osseointegration needs to be continued, especially in the presence of compromised bone status. Current changes and their future outlook are discussed in this paper.
