Implant Survival and Success, Implant Survival Rate
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on the surrounding bone and the survival of dental implants. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does PPI use affect the survival rate of dental implants? Does PPI use influence crestal bone loss and fractal dimension (FD) of the surrounding bone?
