Clinical Outcomes of Conventional and Immediate Placement of Dental Implants in a Group of Iranian War-wounded Patients

Conclusion: In this study with limited follow-up period 3% of implants failed clinically, with a tendency toward higher rates for immediately placed ones. Besides, use of grafts during associated interventions was associated with higher probability of clinical failure which could show that these interventions could even worsen the clinical outcome of implantation. The finding that longer implants had higher rates of failure might be attributed to short follow-up period.
