Evaluation of Comparison of Success Rate of Dental Implants and Post & Core Restorations

Abstract

Background: This study was conducted for the evaluation of comparison of success rate of dental implants and post & core restorations.

Material and methods:This study comprised of 100 subjects having more than 2/3rd crown structure lost in anterior tooth region. The subjects were divided into two groups based on the treatment. Group 1 consisted of individuals who underwent post and core restorations. The second group comprised of subjects who were treated with dental implants. Both groups consisted of 50 subjects each. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software.

Results: Total 8 out of 50 cases of post and core restorations failed. Hence, the success rate of post and core restorations was 84%. Total 3 out of 50 cases of implants failed. Hence, the success rate of dental implants was 94%.

Conclusion: It was concluded that dental implants had a higher success rate (94%) than post and core restorations (86%) for replacement of a damaged tooth.
