MACIAS HERRERA, Darling Rocío et al. Survival of dental implants between the first and the second surgical phase. AMC [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.3, pp.278-288. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: one of the main goals in implantology is to achieve initial healing in the survival of dental implants. Objective: to determine the survival of dental implants placed in patients attending the Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia between June and December 2011. Method: in this cross-sectional study of a sample of 59 dental implants to analyze variables related to the maxilla, anatomical site, type of incision, design, length and diameter of the implants, radiographic appearance and mobility implants, as well as the presence of pain during the evaluation of the implants installed were revised.  The median survival time of implants were described by Kaplan Meier.  Results: a total of 59 implants in 15 patients with a mean age of 54 years (± 9) were evaluated, of which 60% were placed on women. The 50.85 % of the implants were installed in the maxilla and 49.15 % in the lower jaw. 96.6 % were placed in partially edentulous patients and 3.4 % in totally edentulous. The survival of dental implants for the upper jaw was 96.6 % and for 93.1 % of the lower jaw. Conclusions: in the present study the dental implant survival was high with some failures that occurred during the first months of healing
