Answer
If we define “implant lifespan” as the “period of functioning as teeth,” there is no definitive lifespan.
Similar to human lifespan, various factors such as overall health, smoking, and dental condition can influence implant lifespan.
If we consider “implant lifespan” as the “period until general implants are removed,” the cumulative survival rates for lower and upper jaws in cases of complete edentulism are approximately 94% and 90%, respectively, over 10-15 years.
Dental hygiene after implant treatment significantly impacts outcomes;
cases with professional cleanings (regular check-ups) have fewer issues and higher implant survival rates.
