implant survival rate
Implant survival rate refers to the percentage of dental implants that remain successfully in place over a specific period, typically several years. For example, a 95% survival rate over five years means that 95 out of every 100 implants are still functioning and intact after that time. It's a common way to measure the long-term effectiveness and reliability of dental implants as a tooth replacement option. A high survival rate indicates that implants are generally durable and a successful solution for most patients.
