Background: With the emerging boon in dental implantology, their eventual failures also reported. Nonetheless, implant therapy has, as every surgery, numerous complications that can happen and should be known in order to manage them. The success of any implant related rehabilitation depends upon different factors and parameters. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate different factors affecting the survival rate of osseointegrated dental implants. Materials & Methods: The study incorporated evaluation of the data of 30 patients those have been rehabilitated by dental implants during the study period. Demographic records of all selected patients included age, sex, implant diameter, length, location, bone quality. Single tooth replacements (by implant) done in both maxillary and mandibular arches were considered in the study. Authors had not chosen already failed cases rather they had selected patients randomly to calculate the authentic rates of survival. Results: Statistical analysis was completed using statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21. Out of 30 patients, males were 20 and females were 10. Maximum 15 implants were survived in middle aged patients of range 41-50 years. More than half of the survived implants were noticed in male patients. The survival rate was maximum in implant of 10-11 mm lengths. Total 14 implants were survived those placed in posterior mandible. Only 2 implants were survived in posterior maxilla. The measured level of significant was 0.018. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study authors concluded that survival rate of osseointegrated implants was higher in males. In the studied patients, implant length and diameters has affected long term survival rates significantly. As a site, posterior mandibular region showed highest implant survival rates. Moreover, implants those placed in type II bone showed highest survival rates.
