Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the most frequent sites of dental implants and demographic characteristics of patients referred to the Gazi University School of Dentistry Departmant of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery over the last two years.
Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 1259 patients who received dental implant treatment at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Gazi University School of Dentistry, between January 2021 and December 2023 were reviewed. A total of 4370 dental implants from 28 different brands were analyzed. Demographic variables (age and gender) and implant-related variables (implant localization and implant brands) were recorded. Implant localization was determined according to the FDI World Dental Federation tooth numbering system. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and chi-square tests were performed to evaluate associations between categorical variables with a significance threshold of p<0.05.
Results: Of the 1259 patients, 49.2% were male and 50.8% were female and the mean age was 51.5 years. The most common site for dental implants was the lower left posterior region, and the most frequently implanted site was tooth number 46 followed by 36.
Conclusions: In conclusion, despite the increasing prevalence and high success rates of dental implants, the preservation of natural teeth remains a global priority due to both economic and health-related considerations. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the distribution of dental implants with respect to gender, age, and anatomical localization, with the aim of providing insights that may assist both clinicians and patients in making informed decisions focused on the preservation of permanent dentition.

Arka plan: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir diş hekimliği fakültesinin Ağız, Diş ve Çene Cerrahisi kliniğine son iki yıl içinde başvuran hastaların demografik özelliklerini ve dental implantların en sık uygulandığı bölgeleri değerlendirmektir.
Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada Ocak 2021-Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında dental implant uygulaması için bir diş hekimliği fakültesine başvuran toplam 1259 hastanın arşiv verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi ve toplam 4370 dental implantın lokalizasyonları demografik verilerle birlikte değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Toplam 1259 hastanın 777'si kadın hasta ve ortalama yaşın ise 51.54 olduğu saptandı. İstatistiksel olarak dental implantlar için en yaygın bölgenin sol alt posterior bölge olduğunu, en sık implant yerleştirilen bölgenin ise 46 numaralı diş olduğu ve bunu 36 numaralı dişin takip ettiği görüldü.
Sonuçlar: Dental implant tedavisi, diş eksikliklerinin tedavisinde birçok diş hekimi ve hasta tarafından tercih edilmektedir. Genel olarak en çok implant yapılan bölgeleri bilmek, hekimlerin ve hastaların bu dişleri ağızda tutmak için daha fazla dikkat ve özen göstermelerine yardımcı olabilir.
