This study evaluated factors influencing the survival and success rates of 30 dental implants placed in 20 patients over a period of 6 months to 1 year. The results showed a 100% survival rate for the implants, with all implants meeting the criteria for implant health and success. Marginal bone loss was found between implant placement and 6 months post-placement, but no significant additional bone loss after 6 months. Patient and implant factors like bone quality, torque values, and implant design and dimensions did not significantly influence crestal bone loss. The implants were considered to be highly successful based on established criteria.
